I have done a few of the food and drink tasting tours in York recently, so I thought I would put a quick post together linking to the ones I have reviewed recently.

Gin Tasting at The Hooting Owl

The Hooting Owl run two gin tours, a shorter one during the day and a longer full tour in the evening.  We recently tried out the daytime tour.  It’s fun, lighthearted and entertaining (and there will be plenty of gin, so you will be very merry afterwards!).

Chocolate and Gin Tasting at York’s Chocolate Story

The Chocolate and Gin Tasting Tour at York’s Chocolate Story combines (most of) the regular classic tour with the addition of gin and chocolate pairings.   The gin is from Hooting Owl who have a fabulous bar on Rougier Street where you can do more gin tasting if you would like.

Gin Tasting at York Gin

What about a gin tasting session at York Gin on Pavement in the city centre.  We tried out a Sparkly Christmas Tasting we attended, but gin tastings run throughout the year too.  The tastings are run early evening after the shop has closed, so it’s a private and cosy event.

Chocolate Bar Making 

10 Castlegate, York YO1 9RG

How would you fancy making your own chocolate bar at York Cocoa Works?  We recently visited and did their Manufactory Tour as well as making our own chocolate.  It was interesting, informative and great fun!
