Details

The evening begins with you sipping a real drinking chocolate while your host walks you through a brief history of cocoa and the entire process of how cocoa beans are cultivated and prepared for chocolate making.

From there, you'll begin a journey of transforming those amazing little seeds into chocolate. Experience chocolate making first hand while you see, touch, taste, smell everything chocolate related - the good, the bad, and the ugly! At the same time your host will cover such topics as "percentage" as it relates to dark chocolate, Fair Trade in the chocolate industry, and other topics which commonly mislead the general public. Our hope is that you'll walk away from this experience not only full of chocolate, but a much better informed consumer!

Your host will then guide you through a chocolate "tasting" where you will be introduced to a number of different dark and milk chocolates, all made right here at Choklat.

The evening is then capped with a fun chocolate and wine pairing. Four different beverages (a red wine, a port, a sherry, and a dessert wine) are paired with some of our chocolate. Here you will see in some cases wine and chocolate pair well, while in other cases the don't.

Bring your spouse, bring your friend, bring your group. Tickets are limited.
