In this class we will begin by discussing what sets craft chocolate apart from mass-marketed brands.

Craft chocolate makers start with premium, carefully sourced cacao beans to make chocolate with unique aromas and flavors- also known as terroir in the wine world.

We will then learn how to pair the chocolates with two suggested wines (which you must purchase).

I have chosen six different chocolates with distinct flavors to complement each wine.

We will cover some general guidelines then discover how breaking the rules can result in some extraordinary pairs as well.

Upon purchase you will receive access to the online event page with the Zoom access information, a suggested wine list and an email asking for a shipping address.

The week of the event you will be shipped a chocolate pairing kit including 6 bars of craft chocolate from the following makers:

Omnom Chocolate

Fruition Chocolate

Original Beans

Mirzam Chocolate Makers

Manoa Chocolate Made in Hawaii

French Broad Chocolate

AND two tasting squares from Toak Chocolate (the most expensive chocolate brand in the world)

Your chocolate bar pairing kit will be enough for (at least) 4 people so feel free to invite some friends over to share your wine and chocolate with.

This high-end craft chocolate is not available at the grocery store and will include dark, milk and white chocolate varieties.

We will then meet together over Zoom conferencing for a guided pairing of the chocolate samples with your wine while Jessica answers all your questions throughout the tasting.

Limited time slots also available for private group tasting experiences- please message me directly to schedule a curated tasting event for your group.
