Activity Description
The Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour is a very innovative walking tour that will take visitors on a fascinating journey into the cultural and chocolate history of the Union Square area. We'll be using tastings as props for the stories as we test out all the best chocolate and pastry pairings with a fine selection of wines.
On this 3-hour guided tour you will:
- Get exclusive behind the scenes access to the kitchen of one of the most popular New York-based artisanal chocolatiers.
- Enter a Flatiron District bakery that is an institution in its own right, and has all the locals lined up and ready to buy their buttery croissants and crunchy breads first thing in the morning.
- See a factory where they produce chocolate that is organic, natural, gluten-free and low in sugar – the best possible chocolate for your health that also tastes divine.
- Enjoy some of the finest chocolates in the world at an upscale French chocolatier’s only American retail outlet. Their goods are used by many confectioners to create luxury bonbons.
- Sample some of the most delicious French-style cakes and pastries at a Union Square bakery that serves and uses specially-chosen Venezuelan cocoa for its products.
Come and learn how to match the best wine with the most glorious chocolates and desserts right in the heart of Manhattan's Union Square. Join us on this unforgettable journey through New York’s past and its cultural legacy, and you will get the scoop on the chocolate industry right where it happens.
