Chocolate is a technology 5,300 years in the making. It is currently going through metamorphosis unlike anything it has undergone before. This tour celebrates chocolate in all its forms; join us to enjoy something unexpected alongside your all-time favorites. We visit bakeries, chocolatiers and specialty shops, tasting flavor and styles from across the globe. But why Seattle? Cacao does not grow in Washington, nor do we have your own distinct style like that in Belgium or Ecuador. What Seattle offers is a culture that honors tradition while striving for innovation. We value the integrity of ingredients and supply chains, but we see no ‘rules’ in how something should be done. We break the mold of what people think chocolate is and of what it can be. You are living in the Golden Age of Chocolate.

Great Chocolate Tour with Very Knowledgeable and Simpatica Guide!
My husband, son , daughter-in-law, and two 11- and 13-year-old grandsons did the chocolate tasting tour with Magnolia. It was terrific! Especially Magnolia! She was amazingly knowledgeable about chocolate, the Market, and how to engage everyone. She accommodated my mobility limitations (it IS a walking tour and has some inclines getting to and through the market; she found elevators when possible, and always was patient with my pace) and she kept our grandsons engaged not only with chocolate but also involving them in assisting her. There was an excellent variety of chocolates and chocolate drinks we sampled. I’m eager to try some of Sum Goods other tours now. Highly recommend!

Love chocolate and the tour
Magnolia was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable about chocolate and the Seattle area. She was very good about including everyone in the group. We had someone with some mobility issues and 2 young boys. Loved this tour.

Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seattle.
How much does Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $76 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seattle usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seattle is not rushed.
Is Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 245 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Seattle, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings?
+
Around 86 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seattle can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seattle and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seattle within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seattle?
+
Seattle's best days leave the city: Mount Rainier, the San Juans, Olympic National Park and Snoqualmie Falls are all day-trip range, and each one lives or dies on the driver-guide. In town, Pike Place food tours, underground history walks and harbour cruises dominate. Our ranking favours operators with small vans over full coaches on the mountain runs. On Outty we rank every Seattle experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mt. Rainier Day Tour from Seattle, Seattle City and Snoqualmie Falls Half-Day Guided Tour, Chef Guided Food Tour of Pike Place Market. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seattle?
+
June to September for clear Rainier views and reliable ferry weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seattle?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings?
+
Included: Bottled water; and Snacks. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings?
+
Meet your guide on the sidewalk outside of the Dahlia Bakery. Please refrain from asking the bakery staff for any information about the tour. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Chocolate Tour in Seattle with Guided Tastings offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
