What people are saying

Had a fabulous and informative time at last night's in-person chocolate tasting for British Sign Language users - it was great fun, and my palate received an awakening. The complexity of flavours mirrored that of wine. There's no going back to bog standard chocolate after this!

Joanna W.

We really enjoyed the virtual chocolate tasting. It was fun and informative, without being pushy. The interactive element was really good, so that we felt involved without feeling awkward. We'd thoroughly recommend it anyone who loves chocolate and wants to understand more about how it comes to us.

Mark E.

We had an absolutely brilliant time! The presenter had an infectious enthusiasm and the tasting was accessible and informative without being pretentious. He opened up a whole new world of enjoyment for those on the call. Moreover participants were fully engaged through being able to vote on what they were tasting and we were put at ease with our host stressing there were no right or wrong answers.

Peter S.

Thanks so much for a fantastic evening - that was by far the best team social I've been to. I look forward to becoming more perceptive of flavour, and to coming back another time!

Frequently asked questions

For every booking there is a £120 fee to secure the timeslot. The minimum cost per participant is £19.95, and this scales up depending on the chocolate required and the location of the recipient for shipping. For in-person sessions, there is an additional fee of £150 to cover the time and travel of the host (within London).
Our 'standard' tasting kit is a collection of 9 different chocolates. We have two sizes available for our sessions: The 'deluxe' and 'taster' kits contain the same chocolate and materials, but the 'taster' has smaller bar sizes (for example; 12g as opposed to 70g). The taster kits are £19.95 each, and the deluxe kits are £34.95 each (prices include VAT).
We use Zoom to present our virtual chocolate tasting experiences, but we can adapt to whatever platform your team usually uses. On Zoom we can host up to 100 participants. Our special, interactive presentation uses a browser-based platform, and attendees can participate, share their thoughts, and answer questions using their mobile phones in real time. We encourage participants to have their cameras on, and to ask questions along the way.
Sessions last for about an hour and a half, but we like to allow up to two hours to accommodate any Q&A. We can add a short quiz at the end of the session which is a fun way to wind things down. If you wanted a shorter session or a longer session, or if you needed chocolate tasting to merge into an existing event schedule, just let us know and we'll accommodate your needs.
If you want to upgrade your event to include pairings as well, we can provide expertly-paired wines from Corney & Barrow which let us talk about the exquisite harmonies and parallels between fine wine and craft chocolate. We can also use Scotch whiskies to explore how diverse pairings can be, with support from our whisky expert and author Rachel McCormack. For non-alcoholic choices, we can also arrange to include coffees and teas from our friends at Colonna Coffee and Postcard Teas; we'll learn how these foods and drinks and industries have lots in common, and lots to learn from each other.
Shipping starts at £3.95 per person for tasting attendees in the UK. For international shipping, our pricing is £14.95 to European addresses, £19.95 for North America, and £20.95 for everywhere else. All of our tasting chocolate deliveries are tracked, and we'll keep organisers up-to-date with the details. We also have plenty of bespoke shipping plans available for sending chocolate boxes in bulk, or with expedited delivery.
