1 hour


Our Wine & Chocolate Pairing Class is an immersive delight of the senses. This experience involves an introductory background to our company, what makes our single-origin unroasted chocolate unique ,and cacao origins. Participants will get to taste cacao fruit pulp and compare different cacao bean origins, setting the tone to dive into our wine and chocolate tasting. Participants will learn all about tasting chocolate like a pro as well as interpreting flavor notes of single-origin chocolate. In this tasting we highlight four different single-origin dark chocolates and a hand crafted chocolate truffle. Each chocolate is paired with one of 4 different wines that will be enjoyed during class. We have accompanying worksheets and tasting wheels to enrich the experience as we explore the world of tasting and pairing together. Light snacks will be provided during the class.

 

This class is 21+ ONLY. Valid ID will be required upon arrival before entering the class.

 

"We had a great time doing the tour and Chocolate bar making class. Ann was an amazing guide and was able to answer all questions asked of her. The whole experience was a tremendous amount of fun and I was surprised with how much we learned when I was all over. Highly recommend."

"We did a chocolate making class and had a truly amazing time with the team. The class is very hands on and you’ll learn a whole lot about chocolate. It was a perfect company offsite."

"Great class experience. I went with my friend and our instructor/chef was Esteban (hope i'm spelling that correctly) and we couldn't have had a better time. The chocolate was delicious and we learned so much. Definitely would go back for one of their other classes."

"This chocolate class provided by experts in the chocolate business was excellent. To begin with, from having a great knowledgeable chef to learning about making chocolate to actually making your own chocolate was fantastic!! The best part with the knowledge acquired you will feel confident to make chocolate at home and impress your friends and family!!"

"The bean to bar class is insane. You really do start with the beans (picking between Ugandan or Tanzanian with your partner) and go through cracking and winnowing, grinding and conching, tempering and molding. Toni was a wonderful teacher. We got to try cacao fruit juice!"

"Such a fun experience! I took the Bean to Bar class taught by Esteban and was blown away by how in-depth the class went. You are literally making chocolate bars from scratch (cracking the beans, grinding it into chocolate paste, tempering the chocolate, and molding the bars)..."
