The San Francisco Gourmet Chocolate & Wine Tour

Friday afternoons

What could be better than a day of gourmet chocolate? Tasting that chocolate next to a perfectly matched glass of wine, of course. Yes, pairing chocolate with wine can be tricky, but when it’s done right, your pleasure will be multiplied! Let us show you some unique wine pairings on the new San Francisco Gourmet Chocolate and Wine Tour. After our tour, you’ll know exactly what combinations will impress guests at your next dinner party. And you’ll get a Chocolate Lover Card to use on future chocolate shopping trips.

OVERVIEW OF TOUR

Like our signature Gourmet Chocolate Tour, the San Francisco Gourmet Chocolate and Wine Tour is a walking tour of the city’s best downtown chocolate boutiques – plus two elegant wine bars. You’ll learn about chocolate production, history, health benefits and trends – while sampling generous amounts of chocolate and tasting wine. Imagine, Scharffen Berger’s intense extra bitter bar paired with a Dry Creek Valley Late Harvest Zinfandel...Spectacular!
