Visiting Chocolatiers
Truffles from Visiting Chocolatier Chocolate Twist
What: As part of our mission of Uplift Through Chocolate, we invite up-and-coming chocolate makers without a shop, or chefs whose shops aren't within walking distance of our routes, to be Visiting Chocolatiers on our regular tours and our special event tours.
This means chocolatiers set up a pop-up shop just for us, inside one of our favorite clothing boutiques for example or at another location. Our tour customers get to experience chocolates they might not otherwise discover, get to meet the chocolate maker, and get to explore a boutique and have fun in a new environment.
A sweet win for all!
