Join the Virginia Museum of Natural History for an unforgettable evening where rich flavors come together in perfect harmony. Be delighted as you are guided through a tasting of premium chocolates, curated from the world’s finest cocoa. Develop your palate for subtle differences found in cocoa beans harvested from various regions of the world and enjoyed for millennia.
Following the tasting, the Natural History of Chocolate event transitions to a five-course gourmet dinner, where chocolate takes center stage in every course. The savory dishes, artfully crafted by a skilled chef, incorporate chocolate in unexpected ways. A complementary wine accompanies each course to accentuate the unique qualities of each dish.
The menu includes:
- Mexican chocolate soup
- Cheese and fruit with chocolate dip
- Salad with chocolate dressing
- Choice of either 1) lamb lollipops encrusted with coffee and cocoa powder, or 2) Spicy Chocolate Chicken
- Black Forest Gateau
