From Vine To Bean: A Guided Wine & Chocolate Exploration

Date: Saturday, February 7th, 2026 @ 12pm

Location: 208 Wine Bar

Duration: A 2 to 2.5 hour sensory journey through two delicious worlds

Tickets: $85 per person, available here

Join us at 208 Wine Bar for an experience where "sophisticated" meets "strictly for fun." We’ve teamed up with Chocolate-maker Kaysee Hill to bring you a collaborative tasting experience that strips away the pretension and focuses entirely on the pleasure of the palate.

In this guided session, we’ll explore the surprising parallels between craft chocolate and world-class wine—from the importance of terroir (where it’s grown) to the ethical artistry of small-batch makers. This isn't a lecture; it’s an invitation to challenge your pre-set ideas, learn your palate, and even discover why certain flavors trigger memories and emotions.

What’s Included:

A Journey Through 5 Wines: Taste a curated selection of global wines, with a deep-dive "analysis" of specific pours designed to expand your wine horizons. 

Craft Chocolate Flight: A guided tasting of 4–6 premium, ethically sourced chocolates, moving from smooth and approachable to bold, single-origin "showstoppers." 

Gourmet Charcuterie: A beautiful spread of meats and cheeses provided by 208 to ground your palate, which will be introduced closer to the end of the experience, so as to not affect the chocolate tasting. 

Interactive Learning: Get hands-on with cacao beans and nibs while learning the "Look, Smell, Snap, Melt" technique for professional tasting. 

Tasting Tools: Custom flavor wheels and tasting cards to help you track your favorites.

Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just someone who loves a good glass and a square of dark chocolate, you’ll leave with a sharper palate and a new appreciation for the vine and the bean.

Tickets are limited to ensure an intimate, conversational atmosphere. Please list any dietary restrictions or allergies in the notes at checkout.
