The Tour Begins…
Embark on a thrilling journey through the sweet world of chocolate at the legendary Rogers’ Chocolates, a beacon of confectionery history since 1885 and one of Canada’s oldest chocolate sanctuaries. Prepare to be dazzled as we indulge in their handmade treasures, savoring the famous vanilla cream and the tantalizing salted caramel. Next, we’ll whisk you away to the renowned Bon Macaron, a haven for chocolate-infused macarons, where every bite is an adventure in taste. A decadent world of truffles awaits at Chocolat & Co, sample their most popular creation paired with an indulgent hot chocolate.
The Tour Continues…
The tour then heads to Christ Church Cathedral to get an inside tour of the building. This is one of the largest Cathedrals in Canada and a remarkable sight! Find out how Winston Churchill left his mark on the building and ogle at the massive organ with over 4000 pipes. The tour then dips back into the world of chocolate with a unique savory stop before heading to St. Andrew’s Cathedral for a brief tour of this stunning Catholic monument. Our last chocolate stop is at the famous Chocolate Project led by world-renown chocolate judge David Mincey. Here we will sample some of the top chocolate bars in the world! The tour ends outside of the Congregation Emanu-El, Canada’s oldest continuously running synagogue.
