Chocolate Snacks at the Chocolate Theatre

Welcome at the Chocolate Theatre

Fascinating tasting tour: experience first-hand how chocolate is made, from the bean to the bar. Zotter presents a unique flavour range at various creatively staged tasting stations: everything Zotter – unusual aroma combinations and incredible flavour compositions. Snack to your heart’s content at our numerous tasting stations: Hand-scooped chocolates at the Running Chocolate stand, drinking chocolate dispensers, couverture in the shape of little light bulbs, served by the smallest cable car in the world, liquid chocolate bubbling from a fountain. Proudly presenting many new tasting stations like the Bonbon Roller Coaster, a chocolate-serving robot and much, much more. Step into the world of chocolate and explore all its facets.
