Chocolate Town Tour: culinary experience

Welcome to Radovljica, where life is sweet! Talk a stroll through the town of chocolate and find out how a cocoa bean sprouted ‘chocomania’, which has become the theme of this small alpine town. From the ancient world of the Mayans and Aztecs, through lively baroque chocolate ceremonies, to the modern solid form – chocolate has a long trail in its wake. The sweet genie escaped from the bottle and revealed the healing effects of the cocoa bean, as can be seen in the Radovljica Pharmacy and Alchemy Museum. Taste a piece of Slovenian nostalgia, which to this day is still made in Gorenjka – the first Slovenian chocolate factory. Listen to the story of the European flourishing of this sinfully sweet treat and enjoy an aristocratic-style chat over a cup of original chocolate. The aroma of chocolate can also be found in the haute cuisine at Hiša Linhart, where one of Slovenia’s top chefs works his magic. To end, roll up your sleeves and test your creativity at the Radol’ska Chocolate chocolatier. The entire experience will take place under the watchful eye and artful tongue of four hosts – chocolate lovers and proud owners of very special hats.
