When we talk about wine, we talk about grape varietals. When we talk about beer, it's hops and malts. But chocolate...? It seems like the only thing you ever see on the package of the fanciest chocolate is where the cacao came from, or maybe how it was processed. But, we don’t typically hear about the wonderful varieties of cacao beans before they become bars…until now!
In this educational chocolate tasting, Lou Bank gives an introduction into cacao bean varieties before they become the chocolate bars we all know & love. You’ll discover all kinds of cacao varietals & how the different places of origin influences the flavors and aromas, while you taste & sample along the way!
Tickets are $35 per person - each ticket includes a welcome cacao cocktail, a tasting of five chocolates, a cacao seed sampling, along with educational insight from Lou Bank about all things cacao!
Plus, attendees who choose to visit one of our bars or restaurants after the event will receive a special dining offer. Explore all our on-property dining options: https://www.epicureanhotelatlanta.com/taste
