Choc It Out: A Day at The Chocolatarium

Did you know you can make your own chocolate in Edinburgh?

One of my very first outings post-2020 lockdown was to The Chocolatarium—and honestly, I left feeling like the next Willy Wonka.

It’s not just about tasting (although yes, you get to try a lot of delicious chocolate!). You’ll learn where chocolate comes from, how it’s made, the differences between intensities, and then channel your inner chocolatier to create your very own custom bar.

From picking your stencil, choosing your chocolate, and packing it with as many toppings as your heart desires, it’s the perfect treat to take home—if it makes it that far (can’t say mine did).

And just when you think it can’t get any better… it does. They now offer special chocolate-making experiences paired with wine or whisky and let you roll your own chocolate truffles. Pure indulgence!

If you're looking for a unique, hands-on (and very tasty) day out in Edinburgh, this is one for the list.
