Meet & Mingle Chocolate Tasting *In-Person*

Join us at CCAE for an evening of chocolate tasting and connection! This isn't your typical meet-up - research shows that people form bonds more easily when they share a new learning experience. And what better way to connect than through the joy of chocolate? At this event, you'll discover fascinating facts about craft chocolate while enjoying a series of guided tastings. As you savor each bite, you'll also rotate tables between rounds, giving you the chance to meet and mingle with new people throughout the session. If a connection sparks, you'll have the opportunity to exchange contact information before the event wraps up. Everyone will leave with a deeper appreciation for chocolate, a few new connections, and a sweet treat to take home! Instructor: Victoria Kichuk
