Excellent Chocolate Destinations
May 30, 2014
Are you a true-blue chocoholic on the hunt for an adventure in new territories? These sugar-laced places will certainly satisfy the wanderlust in you as well as your sweet-tooth cravings all at the same time!
Montreux-Gruyères-Broc, Switzerland
Boring commutes are old news in Switzerland. You can ride the 19th-century belle époque Pullman car that runs from Montreux to Broc and swing by some infamous food destinations along the way.
Experience a culinary delight in the home of the country's widely-known cheese (Gruyère) before proceeding to the Cailler-Nestlé factory.
Knock yourself out as you see your favorite creations being made right before your eyes and indulge in a tasting session while you're at it.
Madrid, Spain
Churrerias are everywhere in Madrid. It’s where you get your churros fix. Those waffle-like sticks of savory fried dough with some rich melted chocolate dipping sauce on the side. The majority of places can serve you even at 4 a.m. for breakfast. Count on seeing lots of party people and early risers in such spots.
Central Pennsylvania, USA
The Spa At Hotel Hershey - home of American's iconic brand of chocolate bar – offers what every chocoholic must try at some point in their lives. The three-story European-style spa's treatment menu will make any chocolate-lover drool.
But the most interesting, and probably the most indulgent yet, is 'whipped cocoa bath' and a delectably enveloping 'chocolate fondue wrap'. Yup.
Brussels, Belgium
Belgium will always be a haven of chocolate. Just so you know, this country has more than 2,000 specialty shops selling a plethora of sweet treats.
If you want to kick your love of chocolate up a notch, swing by the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate and see chocolate in all forms imaginable - from ornate sculptures to edible chocolate-based clothing.
Turin, Italy
Ain’t no hot chocolate like cioccolato caldo! Thick, slightly bitter, and with a generous topping of whipped cream. Turin is easily the chocolate capital of Italy.
