Virtual Tasting Testimonials
Anya hosted a virtual chocolate tasting for us at Google was incredible throughout the entire process. Not only did she fit us in last minute before the holidays but she picked some incredible tea and chocolate options for us which all of us LOVED! Gourmet Boutique has an amazing selection and I would highly recommend them for your virtual tasting needs!

What a wonderful experience! Anya led a virtual tea and chocolate pairing event with a small group and knocked it out of the park. Yes - virtual! Even though we could not be in person, Anya is so passionate, fun, interesting and knowledgeable, she captivated everyone! You will want to experience your this for yourself!!

Such a unique experience and loved the variety of interesting flavors. I especially enjoyed the background of chocolate making, the anatomy of the cocoa plant, and how to take what we learned to our friends and family. Anya was a great host and I look forward to doing this again!

Anya was amazing and lead a virtual tasting for our large corporate group. She managed logistics, ensured timely delivery, dealt through several bad snowstorms and did this all with grace. She did a terrific virtual session (not easy to do virtually with such a large corporate group). The team was incredibly happy and her passion for chocolate shines through. Thank you Anya for your talent!
