Feb 1, 2018, 11:48 am Take a sweet ride around the city via Dallas by Chocolate Tours. CocoAndre Chocolatier/Facebook Jeanine Stevens wants to showcase the sweet side of Dallas. In 2012, she put on her entrepreneurial hat and founded Dallas by Chocolate Tours, focusing on chocolate-themed businesses with a side of Dallas history. "Taking people to restaurants and eateries is sort of a legacy," Stevens says. "Growing up in Chicago, my parents would take us to out-of-the-way places to eat. Dallas By Chocolate builds on my background of trying new places to eat, and offers knowledge of city." Since her launch, Dallas' chocolate scene has enjoyed a boom, with new shops such as Dude, Sweet Chocolate, CocoAndré in Bishop Arts, Kate Weiser Chocolates in Trinity Groves, and Sablon Lounge in Dallas' West Village. In 2012, California-based See's Candies entered the Dallas-Fort Worth market, expanding its previous holiday popups into year-round stores. And retailers such as Central Market have significantly expanded their selection of fine chocolate bars. But Stevens favors the small artisanal shops that are not only doing traditional sweets, but items with non-traditional flavors. "Dude, Sweet Chocolate uses unique ingredients from blue cheese to mushrooms," she says. "CocoAndré uses ingredients like tequila, and was one of the first to buy beans and make their own chocolate bars. Dallas is on the forefront of pushing the envelope." In addition to chocolate, she offers tours on other themes such as barbecue and tacos. But with Valentine's Day coming, it's all about the chocolate for now, with offerings such as "Have Your Chocolate and Eat It Too," a motorcoach tour on February 11 that stops at destinations such as Kate Weiser, Cheese & Chutney, and Bisous Bisous Patisserie. Prices range from $43-$125 per person. For reservations, call 972-814-5997 or email at [email protected]. "Food tells a story about the city, and we have so many places to showcase," she says. "We’re ambassadors to show people that this is a great place to visit, live, and taste wonderful things." She IS Dallas |

Testimonials:
This tour is great. I took my fiance for her birthday and she loved it! The places that we went to were very interesting to listen to their stories, and that all had delicious chocolate. I was never a fan of dark chocolate, but now I realize that I have been getting it from all the wrong places. This is a must-see tour.

I had a lot of fun going to different chocolatiers, bakeries and pizza places and tasting their creations. All the shopkeepers are very cordial and accommodating. There were chocolate stores and eateries in Dallas I never realized were here, if not for Dallas by Chocolate and Dallas Bites! Food Tours. I met many interesting people and ate some wonderful chocolate and other wonderful foods at the same time.

I have been on 7 food tours so far, and already signed up for another! Best value going in Dallas! So much fun and so delicious..... I also get great tips on my next restaurant trip!

Our group had an amazing time on our team building food tour. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and customer focused. The event itself was a hit given it allowed our team to mix and mingle over the course of the evening, in addition to giving us many delicious food options. Someone in our group said ‘this is the kind of thing we need to do anytime we have a team dinner!’ I think that says it all about the amount of enjoyment that was had!

This is one of the coolest things to do in Dallas and I'm THRILLED that it's taken off the way it has! I've been on 5 tours (sweet and savory), recommended it to people, bought a gift certificate for a friend - I love this! It's not a slick, professional, hurry-in-hurry-out kind of tour like you get in other cities and I prefer that. I like that we get time to interact with the vendors. Congrats on your success!!
-- K. Grimm
We had the BEST time celebrating my birthday on the Taste of Bishop Arts tour. The food was great, the price was good and Jeanine knew a lot about the history of the area. I recommend this tour 100%.
