Join us for a unique tasting experience that celebrates two of life’s greatest pleasures - chocolate and gin!

Our expert guides will take you on an immersive journey through history. From the ancient origins of the cocoa bean in Central America, to the founding confectionery families of York Rowntree, Terry, Craven and Tuke who played a huge part in turning chocolate from a luxury available to the few, to a treat enjoyed around the world. Along the way, you'll learn about the origins of gins, which have been perfectly paired with chocolate to further tell the story of York's chocolate past.

Sample Selection

• Hooting Owl Signature Gin - Paired with Rowntree’s very first chocolate creation, this tasting celebrates the origins of York’s rich confectionery heritage.
• Chocolate Orange Gin - Matched with a slice of Terry’s Chocolate Orange, this pairing honours one of the city’s most iconic and best-loved treats.
• Sicilian Lemon Gin - Served with a sweet bite inspired by York’s confectionery traditions, this refreshing combination offers a nostalgic taste of classic flavours.
• Mystery Gin - To finish, enjoy a seasonal surprise - a unique pairing that puts a playful twist on the timeless harmony of gin and chocolate.

Chocolate-Making

To round off the experience, you’ll get hands-on by piping your very own chocolate bar. Then, watch as our master chocolatier crafts indulgent gin-filled chocolates, and, of course, you'll enjoy a taste of the finished creations!

This adults-only experience is the perfect date night activity, or a great way to enjoy an evening with friends!
