Learn to Taste Like a Pro

Courses, guides, and tools to sharpen your palate and deepen your appreciation for craft chocolate — whether you're just starting out or already obsessed.

Rare Chocolate, Handpicked

When I travel, I find bars you won't see in any shop. Occasionally I bring them home to share — limited, rotating, and chosen because they're genuinely special.

Experience Craft Chocolate

From intimate private events to corporate experiences, I guide groups through a sensory journey that changes how you taste chocolate forever.

Laurenne introduced us to chocolate with so many personalities... discovered a few I didn’t know I’d like. We learned about cacao varieties from around the world. My favorite part was coming up with language to describe the flavors.

Laurenne made my daughter’s 18th birthday celebration so special, hosting a chocolate and tea tasting. She did a great job of choosing chocolates they’d all enjoy and keeping them engaged. The girls had a fantastic time!
