Chocolate And Wine Pairing In Chantilly

delicious wines paired with exquisite chocolates and a tour of how chocolates are made! Learned a lot and enjoyed even more

Wow - what a fun experience. Once you taste their chocolate you will never want "store-bought" again. Natasha was an excellent guide and it was so interesting to taste the nuances of the chocolate with and without the wine. We loved learning about the company, their values, and the chocolate making process. Take family and friends to one of the tastings - you will definitely be delighted.

This was a terrific way to spend an afternoon! Natasha was knowledgeable, engaging, and a lot of fun as she guided us through 5 types of chocolate and 3 varieties of wine. I'm a big chocolate fan, but don't think I've ever really taken the time to savor and enjoy the developing flavors like we did during our experience. I brought home a bottle of my favorite wine AND some of my favorite chocolate to enjoy on my own!

We are a group of Falls Church High School alumni and we are always looking for something fun to do together. I found River-Sea Chocolate Factory on Trip Advisor and we were all happy that I did! We attended the Chocolate and Wine Pairing (or rather "tasting") class and it was GREAT! We had fun. We learned a lot and we truly enjoyed our "teacher", Melissa. Of course we also enjoyed tasting the wines and fabulous chocolates! Thank you for the experience RIVER-SEA CHOCOLATE FACTORY! We will be back for more:)

We had such a wonderful time. Our tour guide was extremely informative, funny, and took the time to answer all of our questions. My family and I highly recommend this tour! We all agreed this was the best tour we have ever taken.

Dave hosted my family for a wonderful wine and chocolate tasting. I loved hearing about the history behind the business. They clearly have an intense passion for their profession. If you love chocolate, you will love sampling their creations! The chocolates taste amazing. This is a great idea for a fun experience that is a bit out of the ordinary. I highly recommend it!

Had a lovely time tasting chocolate and wine! Our tasting guides were knowledgeable and fun, and GOSH was the chocolate delicious. I was surprised to find I liked chocolate with olive oil in it, and was not surprised to find I liked the chocolate with rum in it! The wine pairings were perfect too. Ended up buying a chocolate bar with rosemary and narrowly, never thought to combine those before. I am terrible with names so unfortunately I can't remember the names of our guides, I want to say Melissa and John but I might be wrong. They were so nice! My friend brought her baby in and everyone was very sweet to her and accommodating. I'm from out of state but will return if I can!

What a great experience. Hiding in a collection of multiuse buildings the shop is remarkable. Our host Dave appreciates questions and will happily discuss chocolate from Cocoa trees and beans from around the world, to the levels of processing Dark to white chocolate. He loves sharing the details, the demonstration beans to product was great fun. The offerings of the artisanal candies are worth every penny. They are exquisite in flavor and design, pick what appeals to you, you will be rewarded. If you are looking for something to do when friends from out of town are visiting, include River Sea Chocolate!

A true haven for chocolate enthusiasts and an inspiring activity for anyone who wants to explore the fascinating history and art of fine chocolate! River Sea Chocolate reflects their commitment to quality, along with their connection to source. It is not just a culinary process but a labor of love and passion! Dave, our enthusiastic guide, skillfully presented five unique craft chocolates, complemented by fine wines, while sharing captivating stories about the history and process of chocolate-making. You're sure to leave filled with intoxicating cacao aromas, a more refined tasting palate, fine chocolate treats, and an abundant appreciation for the craft of chocolate making!

It was a lot of fun to learn about the wine and chocolates. The wines were a bit sweet, but still fun time. The tour guide was personable and knowledgeable, we learned a lot about making unique chocolates.

Dave was an excellent host, and all of the staff was very friendly and helpful. We learned so much about the chocolate-making process at River Sea Chocolates, and the product tasted so delicious. The wine pairings were also well chosen, carefully explained, and really brought out new flavors in the chocolate. Our minds and palettes were both blown (in a good way). I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is a lover of chocolate and wine!

Such a fun experience! David was our guide for the chocolate and wine pairing, and was awesome! The chocolate was all delicious and unique, and the wine pairings were delightful. It was very interesting hearing from David about the bean to bar process and the work they do for conservation and the amazing cacao farms they work with. Would recommend to chocolate/wine lovers, or to anyone looking for a unique evening experience in the Chantilly area.

This establishment was amazing. It was the perfect place to meet up with friends to experience chocolate and wine pairing together.

Took a friend for a birthday wine and chocolate tasting. Wonderful experience; fantastic product and company; great staff. Ryan was an excellent host explaining the River-Sea Chocolates the wines and the chocolate process.

Such a fun experience! 10/10 recommend to any couple or family. Great wine and chocolate tasting with a great explanation of the chocolate factory afterwards!

Loved the idea of the pairing and didn’t know what to expect. It was a fun and informative experience. Really had a great time and would recommend to others.

Fun birthday surprise for my honey. Natasha was excellent very knowledgeable young lady about her wines and chocolates We had such a great time When you walk in the door, the chocolate scent drives you crazy It smells so good.

Very nice experience. I liked how intimate it was. Only one other couple. The presenter was very knowledgable.

We were treated to some fabulous chocolate and wine, as well as a tour of how the chocolate is made. It was very interesting. The employees seemed to really enjoy explaining how things worked. There was an opportunity to buy chocolate and wine as well.

The difference between just the wine and the wine with the chocolate was amazing! Everything about this experience was fantastic, from the wines to the chocolate to our hostess! Will go again for sure!

We were hosted by Eli. He gave us wonderful chocolates with wines that complimented each special morsel. These chocolates are amazing. This business is about making chocolate in a sustainable and pure way. All my future chocolate purchases will be from here. My palate now knows the difference and there’s no going back to commercially made chocolate. ❤️

Very nice! Wine and chocolates yummy! The place is so cute and the chocolates range from dark to white with many different flavors of each!

Great experience with the chocolate and wine pairing. We even got to see a bit about how the chocolate was made first-hand. Definitely recommend stopping in to this delightful shop! The Owner was great and answered everyone's questions:)

Absolutely loved it! We had the best host, Eli, who was very knowledgeable about the chocolates and wines. We received this as a Christmas gift and will definitely do it again. Thank you for a most enjoyable experience.
