About this Event

Indulge your senses and discover the world of fine chocolate in this immersive tasting class. Guided by our own food educator and chocolate nerd, Adam Centamore, you’ll explore the fascinating journey of cacao—from bean to bar—while learning how factors like origin, terroir, and craftsmanship influence flavor.

Participants will sample a curated selection of chocolates from around the globe, comparing single-origin varieties, dark vs. milk profiles, and unique artisan creations. You’ll be introduced to professional tasting techniques—how to see, smell, snap, and savor chocolate like an expert—while uncovering subtle notes of fruit, spice, nuts, and more.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy stories of chocolate’s history, culture, and production. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a devoted chocolate lover, this class promises to deepen your appreciation for one of the world’s most beloved indulgences.

By the end of the session, you’ll not only have a more refined palate, but also the confidence to select and enjoy chocolate with a connoisseur’s touch.
