We’ve asked friends and neighbors to join us for an evening pairing their artistry with our chocolate. From Ohm Coffee Roasters to Heidrun Meadery, Point Reyes Cheese to small bites from Breadbelly, and Whiskey, we don’t think there’s anything chocolate doesn’t pair with. We will also have pairings and bites from Michelin Guide Donaji along with wine pairings from Acquire, as well as an add-on sound-bath by Sound Healing Project to keep your senses active. All through the evening our chocolate experts will be on hand as visitors sample Dandelion chocolate and explore our entire factory and chocolate-making process.

We are thrilled to partner with ClassBento for a day of unique and exciting hands-on crafting workshops, just in time for the holidays. Sessions are led by local artisans and experts, who will supply everything you need, and guide you step-by-step to your completed project. You'll get to take home your unique creation, and perhaps a new creative passion. All of the workshops are suitable for beginners, with enough of a challenge for experienced crafters wanting to try something new

Please refer to the event page for information about kid's participation.

In our Chocolate Making class, we learn about bean-to-bar chocolate production from dried cocoa beans to melted, refined chocolate. Our Tempering class teaches you what comes next — the process of tempering chocolate to create a smooth, shiny, delicious chocolate bar with a perfect, snappy crystal structure. Our Educators will guide you through the mechanics of tempering two-ingredient chocolate, and the process of foiling and wrapping a Dandelion chocolate bar.

In addition, you will prepare chocolate mendiants from tempered chocolate. You will leave class with 28 finished mediants, as well as three full-sized finished chocolate bars — hand-wrapped in gold foil and custom-patterned paper, with your own blank label.

Taste your way through a flight of five distinctive chocolate bars, featuring a range of the flavor notes — from fudgy to fruity — that may be found in chocolate made of well-fermented cocoa beans. Expand and refine your palate as you learn specialized techniques and specific vocabulary to identify tasting notes in chocolate. You'll depart with knowledge that will enliven any future chocolate adventure.

This class is one of our favorites — interactive and engaging, with light, fun content. It is a perfect introduction to single-origin, two-ingredient craft chocolate. We explore many of the common ingredients used in craft chocolate bars, tasting each component individually, and learning about its' purpose. For a delicious finale, you will participate in a blind taste test of a variety of chocolate bars from other makers, and try to guess which ingredients are present.
