Chocolate tastings

Want a better relationship with food? Eat chocolate.

We'll take you from cacao tree to finished bar, one piece at a time. You'll learn how to really taste the food you eat, and you'll never experience it the same way again.

What to expect

A relaxed, guided conversation around the table. There's no right answer and no experience needed, only curiosity.

  • About 90 minutes, though a shorter menu is available on request
  • A guided tasting of 9 artisan chocolates, chosen from around the world
  • The story of cacao: where it grows, who grows it, how bean becomes bar, and why it matters
  • Palate training that will change the way you experience food — long after the tasting ends

If we're coming to you

A few simple things help every tasting go smoothly:

  • A clean table or counter with room for each guest to sit
  • Pets settled in another room during the tasting
  • A cool room, since chocolate starts to soften above about 72°F
  • Access to a sink, plus parking or building access details

Deposits and cancellations

A non-refundable deposit of 50% reserves your date.

The remaining balance is due at the tasting.

Need to reschedule? Let us know at least 10 days ahead, and we'll move your deposit to a new date once.

Locations outside of Utah County subject to travel fees.

Questions

Can you work around allergies or dietary needs?

Let us know when you book, and we'll do what we can. Many chocolates are made in facilities that also handle milk, nuts, and soy, so we can't guarantee a tasting is allergen-free. Vegan and non-medical preferences options are available — fill out a quote form for specialty menus!

Is a tasting suitable for kids?

Tastings are designed with humans age 12 and up in mind. For kid-friendly options, request a quote and we'll design your perfect menu.

How far will you travel?

I travel the state of Utah, as the calendar permits. Areas outside of Utah County are subject to travel fees.

Can I give a tasting as a gift?

Only if you want the recipient to fall madly in love* with you — at least, feel deeply appreciated & generally thrilled — or if you are aiming to be voted the Most Excellent Friend of All Time.
Send a message to hello@theflavorschool.com and we'll get you set up.

*Can't guarantee this; they might fall for the chocolate, instead.
