About

You can probably name a few grape varietals; can you name any cacao varietals? Did you know that chocolate is twice as complex as wine? Learn about chocolate throughout history: from Mesoamerican and precolonial history, to colonial production, to industrial production, to the bean-to-bar movement. Come learn and taste with us! If you’re hungry for knowledge about everything chocolate and have a palette and nose eager to explore the subtleties of high-quality cacao, then this tour is perfect for you!

Taste MANY single origin chocolates, including many made in Montreal, which has become a mecca for some of the world’s best chocolate! Award-winning chocolate is on the menu, as is the visit to a chocolate factory with an intimate meeting with the chocolate maker. We will also do a tasting in the style of a wine tasting with some of the best and most unique chocolate the world has to offer. The sweet deliciousness will be balanced out with a light spicy and savory chocolate-based meal as well as other surprises!
