What to expect
Getting There:
The drive will be beautiful and scenic through the Malibu Mountains. It's approx. 45 minutes from downtown LA, nearest city are Malibu & Westlake (6 miles). From PCH off Kanan Rd through Mulholland Drive (9 miles). We consider this place to be a hidden treasure, but by November 17th, day light savings will be over, and will the sun will set at 4:40pm, please plan accordingly.
WEATHER: The ranch in perched high in the Malibu mountains, so typically it can be warm during the day and very chilly at night. Please bring appropriate clothing for those types of weather especially if you are staying into the night. Please consider sun-block of all sorts.
FLAT SHOES: NO HEELS. We can’t stress enough the importance of comfy shoes. While we all want to look our best for this event, we are on a ranch, grass, dirt roads, gravel, uneven grounds, hills will enhance your adventure, so wearing flat comfy shoes is ideal. We welcome you to explore the ranch and spend the day hanging out on this beautiful property.

Mikki Sage + Ashley Walsh
The Chocolate Invitational is a series of events sincerely dedicated to sharing the love of all things Chocolate. We have partnered with Intentional Chocolate, helmed by Ashley Walsh, who will be giving us delightful and meditational tastings … elevating our senses with the purest notes of Chocolate. Intentional Chocolate begins with simple gestures, offerings of joy, and a recipe that has been crafted with positive intentions.
We will incorporate a fresh stylish approach, with special themes, culinary bites, art + photography, music, and a variety of samples, to enhance the experience. We believe your enjoyment of Chocolate is heavily influenced by the atmosphere around you. Our events will be sophisticated, tasteful, and secluded. We like the idea of “private, intimate gathering”... Try a few chocolate tastings.... then relax, chatting with friends or meeting someone new who’d like to share a Chocolate story with you. It’s a way to enjoy Chocolate the way it should be... amongst friends, old and new.
ABOUT
MIkki Sage and Ashley Walsh first bonded over their great passion and altruistic awareness of Chocolate, and thus was born the idea of The Chocolate Invitational. Their successful launch of the first Chocolate Invitational, sponsored by Intentional Chocolate in June 2012, showcased the entrance of this concept into the festival circuit in a delicious way with a sold out event in Venice. This was the first of many tastemaker events for The Chocolate Invitational
