How do Virtual Tastings work?
Step 1: Book your Virtual Tasting!
Want to incorporate unusual flavors into the tasting? Want to combine chocolate & tea for a truly sensory experience? Want an educational component? We got you covered! Pick from one of our popular tasting themes or contact us to discuss your event! We'll pick a date/time that works for you.
Step 2: Tasting Kits are on the way!
All of our virtual tasting themes include factory sealed craft chocolate bars that are shipped to the address of each recipient in the tasting. Shipping is included in the cost of the kits. The kit also includes a tasting matte we'll use during the event.
Step 3: Join via Zoom!
We'll email you a Zoom link a few days before and all you have to do is join. Our Chocolate Sommelier - Anya Zelfond - will take you through the world of chocolate, from bean to bar, the industry challenges, the pairings and much more.

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!
