Chocolate Tasting - A Moment in Bordeaux and French Chocolate Makers

We are excited to invite you to a rare chocolate tasting experience that celebrates French cacao, French chocolate makers and the spirit of Bordeaux. "A Moment in Bordeaux, French Cacao, and French Chocolate Makers" is a guided appreciation of flavour, culture, terroir, and the people who bring them together.

At the Northwest Chocolate Festival in Seattle, we met many passionate makers whose stories and creations moved us deeply. Reuniting with them this October filled us with joy, and we can't wait share their chocolate with you!

What to Look Forward To:

• Experience Bordeaux's vineyards through ganache made with fine wines from prestigious châteaux on the Left Bank.
• Taste the Bernabé 70% Bar, made with single plantation cacao grown on volcanic soil
• Explore Île de la Réunion 70%,made from the single variety Criollo Rouge cacao cultivated on Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean
• Savour French-inspired infusions, including chocolates blended with canelé and Nyons olives

We will learn how bean-to-bar chocolate is made, engage our senses in a thoughtful tasting journey that highlights French cacao and French chocolate makers.

Seating is limited to make sure you have the best experience possible!
