Chocolate Tasting in Burlington: Six Confections & Hot Chocolate

You learn to taste chocolate like a professional, then taste six different ones.

A chocolate tasting at the Flagship Store in Burlington led by a guide who walks you through six different confections while explaining how chocolate is grown and what goes into crafting it. You'll learn tasting techniques, then put them to work on the flight itself. After the tasting, you choose between a cup of award-winning hot chocolate with house-made marshmallow or a scoop of small-batch ice cream in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone, and you can shop the full selection of caramels, clusters and truffles on your way out.

The experience

The tasting happens at the Flagship Store on Pine Street in Burlington, and a live guide in English leads the whole thing. You'll learn how chocolate is actually made, what separates high-quality chocolate from the rest, and how to taste it the way professionals do, not just eat it. Then you put those skills to work on a flight of six different chocolate confections, tasting each one with what you just learned.

After the tasting wraps, you get to choose your finish: a cup of what they call "America's Best Hot Chocolates" topped with house-made marshmallow, or a scoop of their award-winning small-batch ice cream served in a freshly chocolate-dipped waffle cone. The whole experience takes about an hour. Before you leave, the store's full selection of caramels, clusters and truffles is open to you, plus they stock factory seconds if you want to take chocolate home at a lower price.
