Wine & Chocolate Tasting

---

For the love of chocolate! Gather your friends and family for a decadent wine and chocolate pairing tasting party. Red wine with chocolate is a classic, but there are so many more unique pairings that you can try when pairing your favorite wines with chocolate.The season is always right for hosting a chocolate and wine pairing party, but there's something special about cozying up in the cold of winter. Invite your guests to join you for this laid-back event! During the wine and chocolate pairing activity they’ll get to enjoy unique wine and chocolate pairings complete with a tasting sheet. This event is casual and relaxed, a sensory journey to be taken at your own pace, whatever that is! A $34 ticket includes wine and chocolate pairings, coat check, tax, and gratuity.

Minimum Age: The dinner party is held within a bar/restaurant at 123 Speakeasy. All attendees must be above 21 in age to enter. Tickets and IDs will be checked at the door. (Key holders may skip the line as usual if they flash their key and the ticket.)

Check-in Policy: Guests may arrive whenever they please--sampling flights will be available during the duration of the event. We encourage guests to arrive between 4 - 5pm in order to get the most out of their experience.

Over-serving: At 123 Speakeasy, we like to encourage a quality drinking experience, with a better drinking culture. We reserve the right to refuse service to any guests that are visibly intoxicated or disruptive. If asked to leave, guests will not receive a refund.

How does seating and food/drink service work? During this event there is open seating, as we find guests prefer to socialize and mingle as they progress through the various food/drink stations. The tasting menu follows:
