Guided chocolate tasting

🧙‍♂️ FAMILY ALCHEMY EXPERIENCE IN THE PHARMACY AND ALCHEMY MUSEUM

Embark on a magical family adventure in the Pharmacy and Alchemy Museum. Before you set off you will get a booklet, then you will discover the secrets of the museum, solve fun tasks, and earn a special diploma in alchemy and magic.

The tasting begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to the story of the family chocolate factory. You are then taken through the history of chocolate, from its arrival in Europe in the 16th century to today's Radovljica, known as the chocolate town.
Discover the difference between cocoa and chocolate and what sets average chocolate apart from the finest. Guides explain how to identify quality ingredients and what to avoid when purchasing.
In the practical segment, you'll see a cocoa tree, taste cocoa beans and fermentation juice, a rarity in chocolate workshops. We also touch upon the question of whether chocolate is truly gluten-free, providing a clear answer.
The highlight is the tasting of three types of chocolate—white, milk, and dark with geographical origins, along with learning the correct tasting procedure.
Finally, you choose two pralines from a rich selection of 20–30 different flavours with local ingredients and signature recipes.
