Chocolate Tasting Experience
Slow down, taste differently, and discover chocolate in a whole new way.
Join me for an immersive guided tasting experience exploring the craft, flavour, and stories behind exceptional chocolate.
Together, we’ll move beyond simply eating chocolate and learn how to taste it as you would fine coffee or wine, noticing aroma, texture, flavour notes, origin, and the subtle differences that make every bar unique.
Each event is thoughtfully curated and may include collaborations with guest makers, local businesses, or wellbeing partners to create a unique experience every time.
For our August event, I’ll be joined by Julia from Tropic for an afternoon of chocolate, connection and simple rituals of self-care.
Workshop Overview
This relaxed, interactive tasting session introduces participants to the world of craft chocolate through guided tasting, storytelling, and sensory exploration.
You’ll sample a selection of ethically sourced, plant-based chocolates while learning how factors such as origin, fermentation, processing, and ingredients shape flavour.
Alongside the chocolate tasting, each event may include a complementary experience from a guest collaborator.
