Made for Each Other: A Fair Trade Chocolate Tasting and Wine Pairing Event

This Valentine’s Day, celebrate love with chocolate that loves people and the planet back. Join Chicago Fair Trade for a guided chocolate and wine pairing featuring exquisite ZACHI fair trade chocolates crafted from Ecuador’s legendary cacao.

ZACHI founder Melissa Olivares will be your guide as you taste your way through ZACHI chocolates, made from the finest organic Ecuadorian cacao, alongside a variety of fair trade wines. Explore the deep, velvety flavors created by Ecuador’s volcanic soil, lush forests, and generations of cacao growers, and learn how to best enhance the experience with the perfect wine complement – all in a cozy and intimate museum setting.

Whether you’re coming with a partner, a friend, or just treating yourself, you’ll fall in love with chocolate in a whole new way.
