Cocoa & Cabernet at Calistoga Motor Lodge
Join us for an indulgent and educational Wine & Chocolate Pairing event where we dive deep into the world of chocolate and its complexities. We’ll start by tasting approximately 10 different base chocolates, each showcasing unique flavors and textures influenced by their country of origin. Along with these chocolates, we’ll explore cocoa butter and chocolate nibs to better understand how the varying ingredients and cocoa origins affect the final taste. Learn about the nuances of fair trade and organic chocolate, and how these practices impact the quality and sustainability of what we enjoy.
Next, we’ll elevate the experience with 5 exquisite bonbons made with pure ganache—each crafted with 100% pure chocolate to highlight the rich and creamy profiles of the finest cocoa. Paired with a selection of wines, this event promises to be a sensory journey that explores the delightful harmony between premium chocolate and wine.
Whether you’re a seasoned chocolate connoisseur or simply looking for a new, delicious experience, this event is sure to delight your taste buds and expand your understanding of the intricate world of chocolate and wine pairings.
