A Leap Year Chocolate Tour of Denver - SOLD OUT

Wednesday, February 29, 2012 - 10:00am - 3:00pm

Join us for a sweet tour of Denver's chocolate shops. You'll have the chance to visit local chocolatieres and sample their unique and locally made candies.  At Roberta's Chocolates, Candies and Nuts, you will meet the extended family that whips up unexpected combinations such as chocolate dipped jalapeños and pickles along with more conventional sweets. On our stop at Sweet Nothings Chocolate Company, you will learn about owner Ashley Walsh's experimentation and how she infuses chocolate with flavors such as hibiscus or tea.  The owners will share their techniques, demonstrate processes, and provide samples, so be sure to join us.  We will also stop for lunch (and more chocolate) at Cake Crumbs -- a Park Hill treasure.  The average American consumes 11.7 pounds of chocolate per year, so you'll be in good company on this indulgent tour.  Participants should bring money to buy goodies along the way, and something more for lunch.

                                                        SOLD OUT

Cost: $46 general public; $36 members

Reservations: Required. To register, e-mail us or call 303-866-4686.
