A sophisticated evening of chocolate and wine to celebrate the season together with good cheer!
Experience a delightful holiday celebration with an interactive chocolate and wine tasting event. Perfect for team bonding or social gatherings, participants will explore flavor pairings while enjoying premium chocolates and wines. Engage in fun discussions, test your palate, and leave with a unique recipe and unforgettable memories.
THE ACTIVITY: This fun, interactive, and informative chocolate event explores the intricacies of the flavors inherent in both fine chocolate and wine and how to bring the flavors of these two luxury items together. Participants will taste a selection of premium chocolate of varying cacao percentages and learn about their personal taste preferences.
The guided tasting progresses with hand-picked selections of high-quality, yet approachable, wines paired with each chocolate. You will discuss together the flavor profiles of the wines and chocolates and learn the concepts of pairing and general rules on avoiding pairing pitfalls. You'll also get to compare how well-tuned your palate is compared to others in the group as the chocolatier tests your taste buds through fun, interactive questions to promote interaction among the group. The chocolatier will serve a glass of warm mulled wine to everyone before the event as a toast to the holidays, and each participant will receive a copy of a dark chocolate wine sauce recipe. What better way to socialize than over chocolate and wine?
INCLUDED: All materials (except drinking water and cocktail napkins), ingredients, premium chocolates, and wines.
