Description
Take an evening to enjoy the finer things in life in this member-only chocolate and wine pairing demo. You’ll sample a variety of single-origin chocolates and locally crafted wines as we explore how the process of fermentation creates complex flavors and textures, and how to pair those flavors together. Then we’ll taste our way through a few sweet and savory pairings sure to inspire your next dinner party or gathering.
With dairy, meat, and nuts.
