Spend Sunday in the park exploring cacao through tasting exceptional single-origin craft chocolates and more.

From bean to bar, unfolding a sensory journey through origin, craft, and flavor, blending education with indulgence. Guests gather on soft blankets surrounded by nature, sampling curated single‑origin chocolates that reveal the artistry behind small‑batch makers. I am a professional bean-to-bar chocolate maker for over 5 years, thrilled to share my knowledge, craft, and passion with you.
