Chocolate Tasting and Truffle Making Demonstration for £14 at Chocolate Delight (Value £50)

Chocolates are like armadillos – they come out most often at night, roll well into little balls, and are composed of a hard shell filled with gooey goodness. Drive your tastebuds into the wild with today’s Groupon: for £14 instead of £50, attend a chocolate tasting and truffle making demonstration including a mini chocolate cocktail at Chocolate Delight.

Chocolate entrepreneur and master chocolatier Gerry Wilton pioneered the Chocolate Boutique Hotel, located in Bournemouth’s trendy Soho quarter. Gerry Wilton has worked in collaboration with renowned Belgian chocaficionado Laurent Gerbaud to develop a service that covers wine and spirit tasting to complement their hand-made, passionately crafted chocolate. Also catered for are taste-budding artists who want to feast their eyes as well as their palates, with team chocolate painting workshops or chocolate portrait painting, using a combination of white, milk and dark chocolate.

On walking through the door, Groupon gourmands will instantly be offered a mouth-watering mini “choctail” to arouse their chocolatey passions. Leaving a good taste in their mouths, they will then be treated to an enthralling trip through the history of chocolate, from the bean nestled in the foothills of the Andes, to the Belgian bar in the cupboard. Chocolate tasting then commences, from well-known brands to rare worldly delights, before taking the tasty plunge into the chocolate making demonstration. Sweetness hunters will see how to cut, roll, dip and decorate chocolate truffles, before sampling the sumptuous wares for themselves. At the end newly enthused chocolate lovers have the opportunity to purchase discount tickets for Gerry Wilton’s hands-on chocolate making workshop.
