This unique experience of approximately 2- 2.5 hours will take you on a tasting journey around the world through fine wines and single origin bean to bar chocolates. You will be guided by a trained Pastry Chef / Level 2 Certified Chocolate Tasting Specialist AND a Wine and Spirits Trust 3 Specialist. Use some fine-tuned materials and guidelines to truly attune your palate and learn more than you ever thought possible about the finer points of understanding chocolate and wine.

As this is an afternoon event, some palate cleansers will be provided along with still and sparkling water. Please communicate any dietary restrictions once you’ve registered.

Your course will take place in an elegant, small wine cave and tasting space in the 11th arrondissement, near the Bastille and Ledru-Rollins metro. Each of the 4-5 wines you will taste have been curated as a sampler of wine types that best illustrate how they can (or can’t!) be paired with chocolates.

The chocolates have also been hand picked from a selection of ethical and sustainable bars, produced by small to medium sized bean to bar companies sourcing beans from all over the world! Taste chocolates from the most refined plantations of Peru to the jungles of India. Some of these exclusive chocolates are not normally available in France, but participants will be able to purchase bars online in advance, in person after the class or any time at home. Check the “Order Now” page to see what’s in stock.
