Join DC Metro Chocolate Tours as we uncover the sweet side of Dupont Circle. Dupont Circle is located in the “Old City” of Washington, D.C. — the area planned by architect Pierre Charles L’Enfant — but remained largely undeveloped until after the American Civil War, when there was a large influx of new residents. Improvements made in the 1870s by a board of public works headed by Alexander “Boss” Shepherd transformed the area into a fashionable residential neighborhood

DC Metro Chocolate Tour's exclusive 2 ½ hour walking tour highlights the beauty, lifestyle and architecture of Dupont Circle, including world-famous (and infamous!) chocolatiers. Sample chocolate at its best while learning the rich history behind our chocolate delights, all while strolling along some of the most famous streets in the world.

Some of our chocolate destinations include:

  • Chocolate Chocolate, one of Dupont Circle’s most famous chocolate shops, who has a tray of their famous house truffles waiting just for you!
  • What would a DC Chocolate Tour be without a fantastic cupcake demo and tasting from Hello Cupcake.
  • Experience a hands-on session of chocolate molding and dipping in this cozy boutique store.
  • Explore chocolate from different parts of the world with this international chocolatier.
  • One of the most famous international chocolatiers, Godiva has opened its doors to allow samplings of its renowned seasonal offerings.
  • Chocolate fondue-dipped strawberries and delights – need we say more?

And more!

You’ll pick up plenty of samples as you go, plus tips on tasting, buying, and storing chocolate.
