Chocolate : The Taste of Place
TOP RATED
Food & Drink
Just like wine, chocolate expresses distinctive flavors depending on origin and variety. But most of us don’t stop to consider where the beans for our chocolate are grown, or which strain of cacao they are.
Don’t worry, we’re not out to complicate one of life’s greatest pleasures. This is one case where a little knowledge can really enhance the experience. Come hone your palate as we taste our way across the globe!
All ages welcome
