Gather a team, family, friends, or clients for an hour of tasting chocolate together with Chef Aaron Barthel.
Intrigue's Chocolate Tasting Class is a guided sensory tasting built around curiosity rather than expertise. Aaron leads the group through the science of flavor, a few simple mindfulness techniques, and the chocolate-making process while everyone tastes cacao tea, roasted cacao beans, and six different chocolate bars. Participants are encouraged to describe what they notice, compare experiences, and ask questions as they go.
Virtual tastings work especially well for groups spread across different cities or working remotely. Everyone can taste together, compare notes, and ask questions in real time without needing to be in the same room.
Plan a Virtual TastingSince 2006, in-person chocolate tastings have been a hallmark of the Intrigue experience. The format works for team gatherings, private groups, celebrations, and other events centered on tasting and conversation.

Aaron took us through details on the chocolate making process, how to taste chocolate, and then through an engaging session trying a variety of the delicious chocolates Intrigue has to offer. This was such a successful virtual team event!"
