Event Details

Overview

Spend Sunday in the park exploring cacao through tasting exceptional single-origin craft chocolates and more.

From bean to bar, unfolding a sensory journey through origin, craft, and flavor, blending education with indulgence. Guests gather on soft blankets surrounded by nature, sampling curated single‑origin chocolates that reveal the artistry behind small‑batch makers. I am a professional bean-to-bar chocolate maker for over 5 years, thrilled to share my knowledge, craft, and passion with you.

Experience Flow

Welcome — A brief grounding moment to connect and share our cacao curiosity.

Cacao Storytelling — Learn how cacao travels from tropical farms to artisan workshops.

Guided Tasting — Taste 5–7 bars, learning specialized techniques and specific vocabulary to identify tasting notes in chocolate.

Reflection & Connection — Guests share impressions and connect over the experience.

Setting

The atmosphere is relaxed — picnic‑style. Educational materials and tasting cards guide guests through the flavor notes, while the natural setting encourages mindfulness and a deeper connection.
