Chocolate Tasting Evening

Enjoy a delicious two-course dinner then take a journey through the world of chocolate with your host for the evening, chocolatier Jon Collins.

Most people love chocolate but know little about it or how it is made. But there’s more to chocolate than meets the eye (and mouth)! Let Jon guide you through the history and mythology of chocolate. You’ll also taste different types of chocolate from mass produced, through to coverture and single origin, learning how to taste it properly using your senses and comparing chocolate from around the world. Towards the end of the evening you’ll be given a selection of Jon’s handmade chocolates to enjoy.
