Cocoa Beantown is a specialty chocolate events company based in Seymour, Connecticut that produces guided tastings, pairing experiences, and themed chocolate tours. The business partners with well-known local venues — including Privateer Rum Distillery, Taza Chocolate Factory, Time Out Market Boston, Dray Drinks, and pop-up hosts like Tin Box Jewelry & Supply Co — to deliver location-specific events ranging from holiday tastings to neighborhood chocolate picnics.
Events include in-person experiences such as rum-and-chocolate pairings at Privateer, chocolate-and-wine evenings at Time Out Market Boston, Back Bay chocolate tasting picnics, and seasonal activities like a Halloween costumed chocolate tour and Valentine’s Day pairings. Cocoa Beantown also offers virtual events, including anniversary celebration tastings that ship curated bars and souvenirs to participants.
