CHOCOLATE EXPERIENCES THAT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER

Deliver an experience people will talk about.

What Is a Chocolate Tasting?

A chocolate tasting is a relaxed way to explore the world of fine chocolate. No prior knowledge is needed. Together we discover how chocolate is made, where it comes from, and simple techniques to taste it with care and attention.

Along the way we share stories, ask questions, and connect over flavor. Guests learn more about the history and process of chocolate while sampling an expertly curated selection of high quality chocolates from small craft chocolate makers around the world.

At its heart, a chocolate tasting is about bringing people together, learning something new, and savoring the moment in an inclusive setting

Celebrate with Chocolate. Seriously. It’s That Good.

Birthdays, anniversaries, cozy get-togethers. Whatever you are planning, a private chocolate tasting is a fun, flavorful way to bring people together. It’s something new, easy to host, and yes, gluten-free and vegan options are available. With storytelling woven in, it’s a delicious way to connect and celebrate.

Corporate Chocolate Tasting Events

Our chocolate tasting events for companies offer a smarter, more inclusive way to bring people together. Designed for leadership retreats, client appreciation events, and corporate wellness programs, each session blends chocolate education, storytelling, and relaxed conversation to spark real connection. It’s a low-pressure, high-engagement team-building experience that works for remote teams, in-person gatherings, and groups with diverse dietary needs—including gluten-free and dairy-free options. Icebreakers often make people anxious. Chocolate doesn’t. Skip the awkward games. This is real connection, not manufactured fun. A chocolate tasting is a memorable event your team will actually enjoy.

Interactive Chocolate Workshops

Our workshops are a perfect fit for schools, libraries, and community centers, blending learning and fun into one delicious experience. Everyone is welcome, children, families, and adults alike, to explore chocolate’s journey from its ancient roots to the flavors we enjoy today.

Through interactive storytelling and creative activities, participants are drawn into the world of cacao in a way that is both engaging and entertaining. By the end, the room is filled with curiosity, connection, and inspiration, showing how chocolate brings people together.

SEE WHY GUESTS LOVE THE CHOCOLATE CONNECTION

Your class was a lifesaver to me
For the past two weeks, I have been very down because a friend of 40 years who lives next-door died suddenly. My cousin developed Alzheimer's and she is my only cousin. And right before your tasting, I was asked to set up a meal train for an old friend who lives down the street who has just gone into home hospice. I was able to do all things, but your bouncy personality and POSITIVI-TEA started me on an upward turn. The little dance helped drag me out of whatever slump I was in The Republic of Tea Hibiscus is one of my favorites. It always cheers me up, just looking at it, the bright red color.

"Nettie, thank you again.....and for a very uplifting event. I'm so glad Curtis suggested it. You brought together the group in the sweetest and smartest possible way - I don't think I'll ever eat chocolate in the same way as before, and that's saying something."

A chocolate tasting class turned out to be an unexpected lesson in mindset and presence. Nettie Atkisson created a space where reflection, poetry, and reggae all blended into one uplifting experience, and I even met a few incredible people

My friend......invited me to a very cool class by chocolate educator Nettie Atkisson. Had NO idea there was such a profession (where did I go wrong?!) OR that you could taste so many flavors, just like wine tasting. And she threw in some poetry with the samples, too.

Thank you for sharing your story and our chocolate with others. I personally love your book; I even took a copy with me to London this past January to give to my niece and nephew.

Thank you so much! We absolutely love them! Honestly, I hadn't really looked into what the books looked like or said before ordering, as I figured if it was good enough for other chocolate companies I knew that it would be good, so I was pleasantly surprised by the artistry and the super cute lyrical nature of the text. Really so pleased to offer it to our customers and to read it to our newborn son.
