Wines and chocolates so different.
Great little tour — the chocolate was excellent, totally unique, and the wines were fabulous. A really enjoyable experience from start to finish, with a great mix of flavours and something a bit different to enjoy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing day out.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the chocolate, wines, and unique mix of flavors. We love creating experiences that feel fun, relaxed, and a little different, and we truly appreciate the recommendation!

Great for solo traveler
Fantastic time- as a solo traveler, this was a great tour to get to know some of the history of Alaska while also connecting with others. Would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you had a fantastic time and that the tour was a good fit as a solo traveler. Connecting guests with Alaska’s history while creating a welcoming, social experience is exactly what we aim for. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again on another tour in the future.

Lost time and money.
Organizer/owner/driver did NOT appear and did NOT pick our group up. I lost time and money. What a disappointment!
Response from the operator: We sincerely apologize that your tour did not take place as planned. A technical issue in our booking software failed to notify our guide of your reservation. When we learned of the problem, I offered to personally guide the tour with an extended itinerary, full meal, and extra sightseeing stops. However, I completely understand that waiting for me to arrive wasn’t possible. A full refund and sincere apology were issued right away. We know this disrupted your travel plans and are truly sorry. We are currently investigating the issue to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Chocolate & Wine isn't the best part!
There are not enough words to describe how amazing this tour was. Chris was waiting for us when we got to the meet up point and drove us to 61° Winery, a woman-owned winery with a tasty selection. Chris presented us with 6 chocolates to not only just taste, but learn how to appreciate the chocolate. My favorite was between the Birch Toffee and the Pink Himalayan Salt. We were presented with a flight of 5 wine selections, appealing to our interests. I chose 2 reds, a white, a rose, and my favorite - Vanilla Bourbon, a dessert wine. While our tastebuds were being attended to, our minds were being entertained by Chris with some awesome history about Alaska. We were entranced by the stories he shared. Chris also provided us with some restaurant selections so if he says it, take it seriously!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the chocolates, wines, and stories — 61° Winery is always a special stop. Glad the Vanilla Bourbon and Birch Toffee were hits! Hope to see you again for another Alaskan adventure.

Local expert and great food.
Elizabeth was friendly and knowledgeable and brought us to local eateries that we have never found on our own. She was born in Alaska so she was able to share stories about riding her bike to the ice cream place that we enjoyed. Also enjoyed her story about her first bear encounter at age 8.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taste of the Wild: Chocolate and Wine Pairings in the Alaskan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Anchorage.
How much does Taste of the Wild: Chocolate and Wine Pairings in the Alaskan cost?
+
Prices start at $112 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Anchorage usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Taste of the Wild: Chocolate and Wine Pairings in the Alaskan take?
+
Plan for about 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 Anchorage is not rushed.
Is Taste of the Wild: Chocolate and Wine Pairings in the Alaskan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Anchorage, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Taste of the Wild: Chocolate and Wine Pairings in the Alaskan?
+
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 Taste of the Wild: Chocolate and Wine Pairings in the Alaskan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Taste of the Wild: Chocolate and Wine Pairings in the Alaskan?
+
Around 6 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 Anchorage 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 Anchorage and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taste of the Wild: Chocolate and Wine Pairings in the Alaskan 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 Anchorage 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 Anchorage?
+
Anchorage is the staging point for glacier cruises out of Whittier and Seward, Denali flightseeing, wildlife conservation centre visits, dog sledding and northern lights chases in winter. Long transfer times make itinerary honesty essential. On Outty we rank every Anchorage experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include PRISTINE - Wilderness, Wildlife, Glacier Experience in Anchorage, Anchorage Trolley's Deluxe City Tour, Anchorage Trolley's 1-Hour City Tour. 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 Anchorage?
+
June to August for glaciers, September to March for aurora. 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 Anchorage?
+
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.
