Description

Join us for an intimate, in- person guided tasting and pairing of luxurious chocolate from around the world with four wines Certified chocolate expert Dr Jessica Henderson will pair delicious chocolate samples with a sweet sparkling wine, a bold fruity red wine, a crisp dry white wine and then finishing with Dennis Vineyard's, very easy to pair, Strawberry wine. This high-end craft chocolate has been chosen to complement the wines we will open. The chocolate bars are not available at the grocery store and will include dark, milk and white chocolate varieties. We will cover some general guidelines then discover how breaking the rules can result in some extraordinary pairs as well. This special event pairing experience will also feature individual charcuterie cones by Brittany Boyce of Something Bleu Charcuterie and Roasted Cacao Nib truffles by Esa Weinreb of The Underground Truffle. It will be hosted by the historic Hall House and Gardens- a beautifully restored home in the heart of downtown Albemarle.
