Tell me Wine and Chocolate

Join us for the first Tell me Wine workshop on Wine and Chocolate! In collaboration with the prestigious Pasticerria Besuschio and sponsored by Valrhona, we’re proud to present two evenings of exploration on this delicious theme.

Tell me Wine and Chocolate

During the sessions we will explore the history of chocolate, learn about the fruit that provides its essential components, and how it is processed to become the delectable treat that we are all so fond of.

We will explore the techniques and guidelines for chocolate tasting and develop English vocabulary for describing is aromas, taste and texture.

The program will include presentations, short videos, group activities and of course tasting wine and chocolate.
