Enjoy 14 samples of fine cacao and chocolate from various makers and origins. Learn from a professional chocolate sommelier, Geoseph, with over 15 years of experience in the industry. He will guide you through the history, science, tasting of fine artisan chocolate.
This tasting is somewhat like a fine wine, tea, or espresso tasting where we focus on the quality of the ingredients and product. It is very educational, so great for those who love to learn about the foods they eat. We will sample artisan chocolate made from various award winning chocolate makers around the world, and made with rare cacao from various origins around the world.
Sit back and relax as you learn, or jump in and ask questions as we go along. It will be a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Chocolate bars will be available for purchase afterwards (via credit card, exact cash, or e-transfer).
Who is this for?
From beginner to enthusiast.

How To Prepare!
Be Hungry. Being full hinders our brains ability to detect flavour. Come hungry, and plan your big meal after the tasting.
Do not wear heavy perfumes or scents or smoke right before the session as this will hinder the tasting for yourself and those around you.
All you need to bring is yourself!
Please Note: Since this is an educational tasting, we will focus on tasting techniques which will include deep breathing and strong exhaling. If you are uncomfortable with heavy breathing and exhaling in a room with others, this may not be for you.
To get an idea of the types of chocolate being sampled, please check out my online shop. You will have the option to request dairy-free/plant based samples only. No samples will contain nuts or gluten, but there is no guarantee they don't contain traces of these ingredients.
