About this Event
Instead of the usual Kit Kats or Mars Bars you get at the neighbor's house, this time try chocolate you would receive from houses across the globe!
Explore one of the most culturally fascinating areas of Washington, D.C. – “Embassy Row”. In a single afternoon, you’ll stand at the borders of Ireland, Romania, Turkey, Vietnam, Indonesia, and more! We will also hear some of the more romantic stories of this famous Avenue.
Someone said, decades ago, that in order to thrive as part of the Embassy Row scene, three things were needed: “Protocol, Alcohol, and Geritol…” Fast forward fifty years as we take a walk along one of Washington’s most famous grand boulevards- Massachusetts Avenue’s Embassy Row. You will see some of the city’s grandest homes, learn about the foreign governments that now call them home, as well as the scandals and stories of the residents who used to own them. Ever wonder if the curse of the Hope Diamond is true? Come join us and find out!
In addition, we’ll sample chocolate from several different countries! We will each savor multiple pieces of chocolate or candy, most popular in countries from around the world.
Join our expert guide for this incredible inside look into Embassy Row.
(Note: There is an outdoor tour. While we may try to make arrangements to visit inside some diplomatic residences, this is not promised. Expect most – if not all – of the tour to be an outside walking tour).
