Chocolate tasting as a team event
The tastiest team event in the world!
In our 60 to 90-minute workshops, we will turn you into real chocolate experts! We will introduce you to the world of fine and sustainable chocolate, provide you with background knowledge as well as tips and tricks on how to enjoy chocolate properly.
How does chocolate tasting work?
In the morning, the parents put the 66 cent chocolate Santas in their children's boots and in the evening they learn at the company event why this was not a good idea.
π In what context should the tasting take place?
First, the framework of the event must be determined: Should the chocolate tasting take place online or in person? Is there already a fixed date or is the exact time of the planned event still open? How many participants are planned for the event?
Should the tasting take place as part of a company party? Or as an ice-breaker event for customers. Here we can coordinate ourselves individually. For inspiration, take a look at our case studies .
Book nowπ« Choose your tasting format
Choose the focus of the planned chocolate tasting. What do you expect from the event? What is to be achieved?
Would you like a moment of inner peace in the team? A tasting with a focus on mindfulness, including a chocolate meditation, can work chocolaty wonders here.
You can find a complete overview of the formats below.
About the tasting formatsπ¦ Choose package
What size should it be? We offer our tastings in different formats. You can decide the scope (e.g. whether with 3 or 5 chocolates to taste). You also decide on the length of the planned event. Our events usually last between 60 and 90 minutes - but we can also design the tasting individually for you. We've even held a 10-minute tasting in Sage and Write - an elevator tasting, so to speak!
Would you like extras?
We offer the following additional services:
- Personalization of the sets, e.g. with stickers or lower bands with your company logo
- Individual cover letter to the participants
- Own registration tool possible for your participants (so you don't have to worry about collecting addresses)
- You can expand the tasting packages with additional products: e.g. drinking chocolate, a red wine that goes well with the chocolate, or cocoa snacks.
π The final details
That was almost it with the organization of the tasting. On the one hand, the logistics still need to be clarified (especially for online events). Should the tasting packages be sent collectively to one location or individually to the participants? Should packages be sent abroad? The whole thing is no problem for us, we have already sent our tasting packages around the world!
Are there English-speaking colleagues at the event? We offer our tastings in both English and German.
π Go through the checklist again
Now it's time to relax and sit back. We will now take care of the rest. That means we prepare the tasting packages, take care of the shipping and keep you up to date with the delivery to the participants.
Nevertheless, it helps to go through the checklist again:
- Is the date for the event fixed?
- Has the time frame for the tasting been clarified?
- Have you decided on the right tasting format, package and event language?
- Are all participants planned and registered for the event and are they provided with chocolate?
- For online events: Is there already a link for the event? By the way, here we focus entirely on you - you choose the platform: whether Zoom, MS Teams or Google Hangout - we can offer our tasting very flexibly.

Whatβs special about our chocolates
Our chocolates are not only incredibly delicious, but are also produced under strict ecological and social standards. We work with the world's best and award-winning chocolate manufacturers, who produce the chocolates themselves " bean-to-bar ", i.e. from the cocoa bean to the finished bar.
The chocolates are also 100% naturally vegan, lactose-free and allergen-free, as we only use high-quality, dark chocolates for our tastings, without any additives.
Last, but not least, the chocolates are characterized by the fact that they are so-called β single origin β chocolates. This means that the cocoa in each chocolate comes from different countries of origin: a delicious journey around the world awaits us.

FAQ Chocolate tasting for companies
Your questions are not answered below? Then please contact us directly .
Is there a minimum number for the chocolate tasting?
The group should consist of at least 10 people. However, under certain circumstances we can make an exception and organize a chocolate event for a smaller number of participants. It's best to contact us directly .
What is the maximum number of people that can take part in the event?
There are no limits here. We can also organize very large events, especially with online tastings. We have already organized tastings with several hundred participants in one session.
How long is the lead time?
We usually need around 2 weeks to prepare the chocolate tasting. This includes the time for sending the tasting materials to the (individual) participants.
If the event is planned at very short notice, it is best to contact us directly and we will work together to see how we can set up the tasting as quickly as possible (we have already organized tastings within 5 days).
Do you also ship abroad?
We can send the tasting packages to individual participants worldwide. The aim of the event should be to create a shared (delicious) experience despite physical distance, so everyone should be included and able to enjoy the fine chocolates.

This is not a problem in our case. The fine chocolate we use consists exclusively of cocoa mass and cane sugar and does not contain any other ingredients.

Can you personalize the tasting boxes?
We offer various personalization options: whether a personal cover letter, the addition of a flyer or give-away, greeting card or packaging with a company logo - in consultation with you, we will create a very personal chocolate experience!
