About

**This workshop will be live streamed via Zoom.** 

Join us for a virtual chocolate-tasting class with Chocolopolis founder Lauren Adler. From the comfort of your home, this virtual class will lead you on a chocolate journey around the world. With Lauren as your guide, you will receive in advance a carefully organized chocolate package. You will taste chocolate made with cacao from different parts of the world while learning about cacao farming and artisan chocolate production.

Registration for this class will close 9 days prior to your class in order to receive your chocolate tasting package. Chocolate tasting packets are not intended to share. If you would like more than one, please register a second or third  person. Lauren also recommends you taste the chocolate with a clean palate - yes, chocolate for dinner.  If this is your first chocolate-tasting class, it's better you do it without the influence of other flavors.
