Why Travelers Notice It

York Cocoa Works at a glance

Watch chocolate being made on Castlegate, then book a tasting journey or make a bar instead of leaving York's chocolate story in a museum case.

Entry to the working manufactory and cafe is free, while bookable tastings and workshops let visitors choose how deep to go.
