CHOCOLATE EVENTS & WORKSHOPS

NEW !! 

This is a great way to get to know us (Menchaca Chocolates, LeAnne Iverson & Pete Menchaca) a new local winery, local musicians and new friends & neighbors each month. 

As the sun lowers and the day slows down. Play our "Pairing Card Game" with a blind fold, three wine tastes (including the option of non alcoholic), four tastes of our chocolate and a cup of Cacao husk tea. Instructions of how to taste and pair your Wine & Chocolate are on the back of the card. At some point in the evening you can go into the factory and make your very own chocolate bar and purchase a full glass of your favorite wine to go with it or take it home! We will have Chess, Card Decks, and all kinds of old fashion board games to play. This is an adult event only. Non alcoholic options available. Chocolate is dairy, gluten, lecithin & soy free! No reservation necessary! but come early just incase.

Come to our small batch craft chocolate factory/shop and make a personalized Box of Chocolates! Choose your size project, your type of chocolate and toppings to put on top. Then hang out in the front patio decorating your wooden box using our very extensive "Art Supplies Bar". Workshops take about 1-2 hours depending on the size box and the effort you put into decorating it. (Above times are start times, not length of the class.)
