Fun Side Activity!
My friend booked us the $15 tasting and we lucked out that it landed on a rainy day - what a perfect day for trying delicious chocolates. We arrived early so that we could browse the shop and also had a coffee. There were free samples out, so I obviously had those as well. The truffle counter was extensive. They also had packaged chocolates in gift sets, pieces of chocolate sold by the pound, and other items beyond just chocolate. We checked in with the truffle counter for the tasting and patiently waited to be called. Our guide led the 10 or so of us that had signed up for the class back to the back to an area that looked like a classroom. We learned about chocolate in general, the history of company, and tried 5-6 different chocolates. The tasting itself lasted a little over an hour and was interactive and very fun.

Good chocolate
I did not go on a tour. I just visited a few of the chocolate stores. They had a new bar called maple nut that was delicious. They were so good that they sold out of all of their stores.

Fun experience on a hot day
Fun experience to try different chocolates. Great for tasting a few different variations. The experience is great for older children or adults, but I wouldn’t recommend it for younger children.
Response from the operator: Thanks for coming Melanie! And taking the time to write a review. You are correct, this experience is best enjoyed by those 10 and older.

How much does The Ultimate Chocolate Tasting cost?

How long does The Ultimate Chocolate Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Burlington is not rushed.
Is The Ultimate Chocolate Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Burlington, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Ultimate Chocolate Tasting?
+
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 The Ultimate Chocolate Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Ultimate Chocolate Tasting?
+
Around 1 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 Burlington 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 Burlington and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Ultimate Chocolate Tasting start and how do I get there?

On Outty we rank every Burlington experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour, Public Daytime Sailing Cruise, Public Sunset Sailing Cruise on Lake Champlain. 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 Burlington?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Burlington, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. 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 Burlington?
+
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.
