Private Events and Experiences
Virtual Chocolate Tastings
and
Virtual Workshops
Connect from anywhere with the power of chocolate. Bring your friends and family together for a memorable and delicious experience.
Virtual Tastings
Our Chocolate Tastings are a unique way to experience chocolate. One of our Certifed Chocolate Analysts and Sommeliers will walk you through the tasting experience. Feel free to choose from several themes: Around the World, Traveling through Time, and The Science of Chocolate or allow our Event Coordinator to curate a tasting just for you!
Virtual Pairings
We’ll teach your group how to taste chocolate and wine (or beer, cocktails, non-alcoholic alternatives, even cheese!) and discuss the results of the pairings. Learn a bit about the chocolates, how they are made, and how we choose our pairings (it’s a hard job…). We can help you find the perfect alcohols to purchase or work with one of our preferred partners to facilitate this procurement. Pairing experiences are perfect for parties and foodie families!
Virtual Workshops
If you want to get hands-on- these are the experiences for you! Choose from 2 fantastic classes. Our Truffle Making Workshop explores the history of chocolate while guiding you through making flavorful ganache and rolling truffles. Our Tempering Workshop will show you how to make shiny chocolate bark with that perfect *snap* while discussing the science behind our favorite food. During both of these workshops we taste through a sampling of chocolates. Most ingredients are provided and a list of simple kitchen equipment is detailed ahead of time. These workshops are best for smaller groups!

Lindsay! Everyone loved the chocolate presentation! The samples you chose for us were spot on perfect to help us understand the nuances of chocolate tasting. Your patient, inclusive, nonjudgmental style got the discussion going. Your emphasis on ethical practices is so important and really mirrors what our younger generation of cousins is focusing on and attending to in their own lives. You have a lot to teach all of us– and it was fun! There are rumblings about coming to Rochester to visit your store as well as online orders. Thanks for creating the perfect bridal shower event – (did you see Erica glowing?) and honoring all requests- I know there were many. I will miss communicating with you- it has been a pleasure- but at least I am local and can come visit. Keep that beautiful energy going!!
With heartfelt thanks,
