This is something you must try. It is worth of every penny! Tip: there is so much chocolate to try so start slowly, and drink water, otherwise you won't feel good. We started eating and everything we liked did twice, so in last two room we couln't taste anything. So much fun, and bring your kids with you!

Great chocolate! Fantastic idea. The place is very crowdy. After you learn something about how Mr. Zotter chooses the suppliers, you get spoon and are alowed to taste every sort of chocolatge, they produce. The have those little chocolate wells all around und you just let the brownie liquid slide in to your spoon. yami.

This was an excellent tour for two reasons - the obvious one - chocolate - the second was being educated on fair trade products, and the difference it makes in the world. Some fair trade products cost a bit more, but in this factory, you get a chance to see and experience what fair trade does for one product and... More

This combines well with a visit to the Riegersburg, the old hilltop fortress that is a must if you are in these parts. The chocolate factory is great for chocolate lovers, the tour is interesting and informative and there are plenty of samples. Zotter's chocolate combinations are not everyone's taste. If you just like quality chocolate without fillings, weird or... More

I you love chocolate, you really have to go there! You can eat tons of it - please don´t do it before having lunch or dinner! The chocolate you get and can buy is a mixture of something you would not believe - just go for it!

Chocolate tivoli they call it and it is a tasty tivoli. Taste of cocoa beans to the finished chocolate product. We were a little late in the autumn but in summer they also have a great zoo in natural surroundings - this is not a zoo!
