Start your chocolate tour when you meet your guide in The Rocks, the historic neighborhood where Sydney was founded.
During your walk through the open-air market, stop at Mini Monet to marvel at their cupcake masterpieces that are topped with fanciful icing. Try a sample before continuing around the market to your next destination, Cicada. Cicada seeks out select high-quality cacao beans grown by reputable cacao farmers, then roasts and refines the beans to create their superior chocolates. Compare a few varieties in this chocolate nirvana.
Next, walk up the block to ChocolArts, whose displays might remind you of a museum. The chocolatiers fashion their most elaborate chocolates into amazing shapes such as a high-heeled shoe, a multi-colored fish or a bunch of tulips.
Continue into the central business district to Josophan’s, a company that started in the Blue Mountains town of Leura. Like ChocolArts and Cicada, Josophan’s carefully sources their cacao to create pure chocolate without preservatives or artificial fillers. After nibbling some samples, decide which one is your favorite.
Next, walk around the corner to the Pitt Street Mall, a popular pedestrian street with a variety of international stores and local boutiques. Follow your guide to Bon Bon, located inside a Victorian-era shopping mall called the Strand Arcade. Bon Bon is a long established Sydney chocolate boutique with an assortment of handmade European chocolates and nougat for you to try.
Wind down your chocolate extravaganza at the Parisian luxury bakery Ladurée. For more than 150 years, its flagship shop on the Champs-Elysées has been making the macaron, two meringue cookies joined together with a ganache or buttercream filling. The bright treats come in a variety of flavors including — of course — chocolate.
Your friendly and knowledgeable guide shares stories about the shops you visit and fascinating facts about chocolate throughout your tour. Expect an easy walk that covers about one mile (two kilometers) with plenty of stops and six tastings. After the final stop, make your own way to your next destination.
