Arlington area enjoys even more chocolate

  • 2019-05-01
Easter may be over, but the Chocolate House will hold its 2019 DC Chocolate Festival early in May.

Over 30 chocolate vendors, artisans, and chocolatiers from along the Mid-Atlantic will be offering samples of their fine chocolates. Some of these will include The Chocolate Moonshine Company, River-Sea, Heritage Chocolates, and Zoe’s Chocolate Company.

A Kid’s Class from 10:30 am until 11:00 am will start the event in the Tasting Room. This will be an interactive hands-on experience that will address chocolate and how to make it.

Megan Giller will then present a tasting and discussion of the Madagascar beans. The session will end with a book signing for her newest book - Bean-to-Bar Chocolate: America’s Craft Chocolate Revolution.

During the noon slot, Mark Christian from the C-Spot will present a lecture on understanding the wrapper and the flavor code, and starting the journey from cacao bean, to milk and dark chocolate.

Estelle Tracy will hold a chocolate party class in the afternoon. This will be a lecture on how to throw a chocolate fiesta.

Presenters at events such as this usually carry Business Cards in case anyone wants to get in touch with them at a later date.

The auditorium will have two screening of a ‘Bean to Bar’ film and a 45-minute presentation on cacao farming in Venezuela.

The Chocolate Festival will be May 4 from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm at the Embassy of France’s La Maison Francaise, 4101 Reservoir Road NW, Washington DC.
