Chocolate tours

Region: Belgium, Switzerland and the Caribbean

Belgium’s primary chocolate centre is its capital, Brussels. The Grand Place of Brussels is buzzing with chocolate-laden cafes, restaurants, bars, boutiques and shops. A must-visit is the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate, which is full of history and offers demonstrations and tasting.

Some of Zurich’s chic chocolate shops have such spectacular window displays that they could be mistaken for art galleries. Book a ride on the Swiss Chocolate Train, from Montreux on the Swiss Riviera to Broc, and tour the chocolate factory. The day trip provides endless photo opportunities as you pass vineyards, Alpine peaks and bucolic countryside.

The small eastern-Caribbean island of St. Lucia is a top honeymoon destination, because of its rainforests and iconic volcanic peaks, the Pitons. But it’s also among the creme de la creme of chocolate-travel experiences.
