This is a truly luxurious experience, perfect for those who already love chocolate and wine and want to know more about their flavours and history. If you’ve ever been to a wine tasting before you’ll feel right at home here; chocolate tasting is very similar as we discuss the beans, where they’re grown, and the impact this has on flavour.
