THE USA · CHOCOLATE AND WINE TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 chocolate and wine tours in the USA worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend 2.5 hours tasting Washington wine, cheese, bread, jams, pasta, and chocolate around Pike Place Market. Guides Will and Maia are praised for personal recommendations and local knowledge, while the group size stays at 10 or fewer. Expect samples, walking, and enough time to find treats to take home.
“Maia is a very knowledgeable guide. Visited several wine tasting sites, plus a couple of chocolate shops.”
Take a 30 to 45 minute private flight from Lakefront Airport for up to three people. Your FAA-certified pilot narrates views of the French Quarter, Superdome, Mississippi River, and bayous. Choose Champagne with chocolate or wine with cheese, and request sights when booking.
“Enjoyed our flight around the city with Tanner. He was very informational. Highly recommend this trip.”
At Nashville Barrel Co., choose a spirits flight of Bourbon, Rye, and Agave or four wines, two reds and two whites, each paired with chocolate. A host such as Justin guides the 45-minute tasting, explains production, and answers questions in English.
“Justin was echt een aardige kerel. Het was heel gezellig en interessant.”
At River-Sea Chocolates in Chantilly, you’ll taste five house-made chocolate bars with three wines from local vineyards. A guide such as Eli explains bean-to-bar chocolate, leads the tasting, and shows the machines used to make each small batch. The one-hour visit is limited to 10 people.
“The difference between just the wine and the wine with the chocolate was amazing! Everything about this experience was fantastic, from the wines to the chocolate to our hostess! Will go again for sure!”
