the endorphins and other chemicals released by chocolate can actually be addictive, justifying all those cravings 
you chocoholics out there have been having. So if you’re harboring a secret 
chocolate habit, why not incorporate it into your next vacation? The world is 
full of some great chocolate destinations and tours. Here are a few to get you 
started on your delicious journey.  Belgium  Belgian chocolates 
are some of the finest in the world, so why not do a little sampling while 
you’re visiting some of the world’s greatest museums, cathedrals and breweries? 
You can sign up for a multi-city chocolate tour with inTrend. You’ll hit three of Belgium’s 
big cities to sample an array of hot cocoas, pralines, chocolate desserts and 
also learn how each is made. Plus, the daily chocolate gifts at your hotel will 
keep your sweet tooth satisfied.  For an added bonus, visit Belgium during the 
chocolate festival, Choco-Late, 
which happens in early April. Visitors to this Bruges festival will get to taste 
chocolates from local chocolate craftspeople as well as big international names, 
see demonstrations, and witness elaborate chocolate creations.  
Italy  If the sights of Rome, Milan and Florence alone weren’t 
enough to bring you to Italy, perhaps the chocolate will. Italy is full of 
chocolaty adventures for the traveling chocoholic. Take a trip to the chocolate 
factories of Perugina, makers of the famous chocolate and hazelnut candies 
called Baci, and get schooled in the fine art of chocolate. The school offers 
2.5 and 4 hour classes where students will taste chocolate and learn about how 
it’s made. There is one drawback, however, as the classes are only in Italian. 
So, unless you don’t mind not understanding the class or have a basic 
understanding of Italian, you might not get your money’s worth.  Chocolate 
lovers will also find plenty to sample in Torino, the home of solid chocolate. 
Home to thousands of chocolatiers, the city’s annual chocolate festival, Cioccola-TO, draws over almost a million  
visitors. Visitors to this festival will enjoy thousands of types of chocolate 
from some of the biggest names in chocolate as well as concerts and other 
events.  France  What’s a visit to one of the world’s most

indulging your cravings with a tea and chocolate tour from Your Great Days in Paris. On the tour, 
you’ll visit some of the city’s best chocolatiers to sample as you please and 
wash it all down with delicious tea.  For a shorter Parisian chocolate 
adventure, try out a 3 hour chocolate walking tour from Context Paris. A culinary expert will 
lead you on a tasting adventure through the best of the best in Parisian 
chocolates where you can indulge all your chocolate fantasies and get a little 
something to take home with you.  Switzerland  Mountainous 
Switzerland has long been known for its fine milk chocolates, so it’s a natural

Whipped Cocoa Bath, a Chocolate Sugar Scrub, or a full body Chocolate Fondue 
Wrap.  For a shorter chocolate vacation, most major cities have walking tours 
where you can sample the best. In New York, you can get some insight into the 
history of chocolate and get some tasting in with a class from the Institute of Culinary Education that 
explores the chocolates of Soho and the Upper East Side. Visitors to Chicago 
will enjoy a specialty Chocolate Tour offered on the weekends, 
where they’ll get to taste gourmet chocolates as well as tour some of the big 
names. Or, hop on a trolley in Boston to tour three of Boston’s best 
chocolate dessert restaurants, serving everything from cream pie to chocolate 
sushi.  If you’re on the west coast, stop into San Francisco for a quick tour of the chocolate shops. The 
city boasts big names like Ghiradelli, Guittard, and Michael Recchiuti which 
should be more than enough to sate your appetite for chocolate, at least for the 
day.  Chocolate Cruises  Cruise lovers don’t have to leave 
their love of chocolate behind when they hit the high seas. Regent Cruises offers an 11-day 
chocolate getaway for chocoholics. Cruisers will get demonstrations, tastings, 
and even lectures on the medical benefits of chocolate, all while still having 
time to work on a tan. Don’t miss out on getting tips on cooking with chocolate 
from professional pastry and chocolate chefs.  These are only a few of the 
world’s best chocolate destinations. Chocolate lovers can also check out the 
origins of chocolate in Oaxaca and sample some spicy chocolate sauce, the 
Cadbury factory in Birmingham, England or loads of other chocolaty locales. So, 
the next time you leave home, consider incorporating a little chocolate into 
your vacation at some of the sweetest spots on earth.
