The day before (the oft-dreaded) Valentine’s Day has come to be known as a day for "ladies celebrating ladies,” and this event is all about showering yourself and your gal-pals with love, support AND chocolate!

Join us on Thursday February 13th for a unique opportunity to explore the rich world of chocolate at the beautiful 6th floor loft of the Cocoa Store, led by certified chocolate Sommelier, Genevieve Leloup.

In this fun-filled, hour-long chocolate tasting, guests will learn more about the steps needed to get from bean to beautifully wrapped bar and how makers tease out flavors that reflect the regions where the beans were grown. We’ll talk about the tasting notes in the different bars, much the way you would in a fine wine tasting.

After the tasting, Art-full members are invited to share a delicious galentine’s day meal with new friends & old at Jean-George’s delicious ABC Kitchen, which focuses on sourcing local, organic ingredients.

All tickets include the one-hour guided chocolate tasting, with samples of 4 artisanal chocolates + 1 glass of champagne per guest.

Full experience tickets (for Art-full members), include 1 appetizer OR 1 alcoholic beverage per person with tax/tip. All ofther food & drink needs to be paid separately on-site.
