Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Making

Get down to the “nibby” gritty in our immersive bean-to-bar dark chocolate making class. You’ll start from scratch by selecting the single origin cacao beans you want to use, winnow them, grind and mill them, temper, pour, and then voila chocolate bars! This class is will set you up with the skills to actually make bean-to-bar chocolate at home with your own equipment. This class also includes an extensive tasting of the chocolate we make here at Raaka.

Hand-Rolled Truffle Making

Learn how to make your own batch of French-style dark chocolate truffles using our in-house vegan dark chocolate ganache, handmade by our head chocolate maker. You will cut and hand roll your own set of truffles, learn about tempered chocolate, and finally roll them in classic and seasonal toppings. This class is customizable -- for an infused ganache base as well as the toppings we use -- decided in advance. You'll go home with the truffles you made in class along with new skills to make your own truffles at home!

Chocolate Pairing Experience

This experience is an exploration of single origin coffees/teas and chocolates, and how to pair the two to enhance the flavors and enjoyment of each. We start the experience with a coffee cupping or tea tasting where each participant will learn and do their own cupping or tea brew. We compliment the coffees and teas with a curated chocolate pairing, where participants will learn how to taste chocolate like a pro, to maximize the tasting experience. This will be accompanied by a light treat made by a local business to cap off the class.

Starting at $75 / person

Base Rate: $1,000
