Highlights
  • Azar Indulgences - We’ll walk down through the funky Portland West End and stop at Azar Indulgences, where owner Christine Azar has designed her ideal combination of both handcrafted Belgian-style chocolates from her family’s company in Lebanon, and wine carefully selected from both local and international winemakers. Azar’s one-of-a-kind chocolates are made in a family tradition going back over a century; we’ll taste a selection of our favorite of these chocolates (although to be honest it’s so hard to pick!) and wine, as well.

Additional Information

Permit us to steer your course through the irresistible world of chocolate in Portland, a journey unveiling the roots, fervent creators, and exceptional variety of this sweet indulgence, which some refer to as ‘excess,’ but we term as ‘joy.’

Our exploration could not be complete without shining a spotlight on the roasted seed of another beloved tropical fruit: coffee! Acclaimed as the epicenter of specialty coffee roasting, Portland boasts an abundance of small-scale roasters, and suffice it to say, sampling them all is a delightful challenge for us, the ardent coffee enthusiasts.

Our tour ushers you through both renowned landmarks and hidden gems of Portland’s chocolate realm, with a handful of unexpected surprises we wish to leave unmentioned.

The entire tour spans approximately 2.0 miles (3.5km), encompassing primarily even terrains, accompanied by tastings of the finest chocolate and coffee. We ensure the tastings are optimally portioned for your complete indulgence in each delectable morsel and every delightful sip. Our tour groups are intentionally kept small, offering a personalized experience led by your zealous guides.

(For larger groups or personalized experiences, kindly contact us; we are more than willing to cater to your needs!)

exploring beautiful Downtown Portland on a chilly day - such a great tour for a chilly day! the chocolate stops were unusual and sooo good, very small business focused; I felt like I was really exploring the heart of downtown Portland’s business culture as well as learning a lot about the city and eating and drinking delicious things!

Fantastic tasting walking tour, not to be missed!! - Amazing waking your, tasting so many unique things!!! We started with some of the most incredible chocolate I’ve ever tasted with fantastic stories about where they come from. Next was a stroll through beautiful parks and saw murals and public art. We tasted delicious drinks at a tucked away Japanese style coffee/tea house. After a nice walk through the heart of downtown, we stopped at a coffee shop in the Pearl District, with divine candy and chocolate, and we finished at a picturesque coffee shop on a cool warehouse street in the Pearl district, where I enjoyed a delicious decaf latte. Amazing experience and such a great value!!

Coffees, chocolates made a sweet tour - The chocolate and coffee walking tour was great! We sampled delicious, locally roasted coffees and some incredible chocolates. Azar’s and Roste were my favorite stops. And, it was a glorious fall afternoon to stroll through Portland.

Such Fun! - Really enjoyed hearing the store owner’s stories and learning about chocolate (and coffee). Carie is an excellent guide and showed us some of what makes Portland unique. I think you will enjoy this small highly personalized tour.

Best Tour Yet! - Our tour guide, Nancy, was so kind and full of information. She took us to the most incredible local chocolate and coffee shops. The tour was very customizable which I loved. We had the flexibility to order coffee/tea drinks of our choice. At the chocolate shops we were able to say we prefer dark chocolate and they customized the chocolate that was given to primarily dark. They were also able to do dairy free vegan chocolate as well. Nancy was also such a wealth of information and gave us so many recommendations for restaurants, shops and great places around Portland. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Focus more on chocolate candies and not on chocolate drinks. - The chocolates we tasted at Azar Indulgences we’re pretty good, although I was not a big fun of the chocolate drink (too rich and thick). We all wished we tasted more chocolates instead of drinks in the other places we visited. The last stop, a supermarket with one aisle devoted to chocolates was a total waste of time. The tour guide old have just given us the name and address of the shop instead of walking there in the summer heat. To improve this tour, have more chocolate shops like Azar.
