Along the way, there are plenty of fascinating facts about cocoa beans to discover. The event also includes a tasting session with exquisite chocolates and outstanding wines. This individually tailored gastronomic journey begins with lighter flavours then gradually steps up to richer tastes and full-bodied combinations - a well-rounded experience for the palate.
