We visited the team at Chocolate Tree for a Chocolate Experience just before Easter, taking my Mum & Dad too. What a fabulous place and fabulous people. Ali and Friederike have built a wonderful business – and the chance to get to see, do AND taste – is a not to be missed experience. You will learn loads – but also get your hands on some melted chocolate and leave with your own bar or egg memento (which will not last long). You will also leave knowing you have supported a brilliant bunch of people. Thoroughly recommend – and we will be back again with other friends and family when we can (as well as dropping by to pick up our regular – essential – order of delicious chocolate – and get a lung full of chocolate aroma).

Went last year and had a wonderful, informative tour. Went back again today and bought another load of stuff! Such nice, passionate people who are very knowledgeable about their unique business. Thank you.

This was amazing! So interesting and so much fun! In fact, I’m going to go again with some different friends who are coming to see me as they saw my photos on LinkedIn and Facebook and are insisting that I take them here!
It’s great being able to support such a unique business. They are a small company but doing big things to support farms that supply them with the raw materials.
I’ve also got a subscription every month so I’m never short of a treat for me or a friend. The bars make great gifts and the design on the chocolate bars and packaging are real works of art that have hidden meanings in connection to the type of bar it is.
Amazing chocolate! Amazing people! And an amazing trip out to the factory! ❤️

My wife and I, met Ali through playing disc golf, he’s always so kind and provides little snacks such as the beloved birdie food for local tournament events. We had heard they did chocolate tours from a few of our friends and were very excited to go. We were lucky enough to book in when they were doing Easter egg making, it was such an enjoyable experience, and it’s great for all ages. Not only is it informative on the chocolate making process, but also the sourcing of beans and how closely they work with the farmers to ensure the best product. And who can say no to making your own chocolate bar or egg out of some of the best chocolate there is!

My mother and I visited the Chocolate Tree for her birthday at her suggestion and had a fabulous time. It was fun, informative and very chocolatey, with a wide variety of bars available in the sample chocolate flight. Ali and Freddy are clearly so passionate and knowledgeable about cacao and the chocolate-making process, and their enthusiasm is catching. You also get to take a tour of the factory, see the containers of beans waiting to be made into chocolate, and pour your very own chocolate bars fresh from the tempering machine. Warmly recommend to visit and support them!
