5 x industrial chocolate, 3 x handmade chocolate and 1 x tasting box with chocolates from Casa Nobile from Bätterkinden.

Overview
After registration, the meeting point is at the Käfigturm. Then you walk through the old town. On the way, you can enjoy Bern's chocolate history. You will be served well-known chocolates. At the shop of a small chocolatier, you will also receive a box with a selection of award-winning chocolates.
Conching was developed in Bern and has become the standard method for making chocolate worldwide. This is Bern's most important chocolate history, but at the same time it is also the least known. By being shown the conching technique, you will learn the true story of today's chocolate (melted chocolate).
At the end, you will have seen the old town of Bern from a sweet perspective. Each guest must then decide for themselves whether Bern was a chocolate capital or whether the claim is just marketing.
Meeting points
The meeting point is at the Prison Tower on the Bärenplatz side. If it rains, you can wait at the Prison Tower gate. The guide is dressed in red.

Interesting chocolate history
Published on Jan, 2025
Good overview of the history of chocolate in Bern. Great samples and good stops. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, but had his hands full giving the presentation in three languages. Only complaint was the cold, but that was not in control of the guide. He provided hot drinks and a couple of warm stops.
Everything I wanted!
Published on Dec, 2024
I got a solo tour around Bern. My guide was very accommodating and was animated about the history which is always nice to have a guide with passion. Not to mention learning about the history of chocolate, with chocolate tastings! One shop was so good I went back on my own time to buy some for myself.
