Turn your experience into a date night, girls’ night in, or fun family gathering by ordering a tasting set for each participant.

Our virtual chocolate experiences typically last 45 minutes, followed by a 15 minute Q&A session. Our chocolatier loves answering questions from participants and tailoring each experience to your interests, so ask your questions at any point during a tasting.

Reserve your exclusive seat:
Tickets must be purchased by the Tuesday evening before the tasting to allow us ample time to ship the chocolates to your doorstep via FedEx expedited shipping.

Upon purchasing a ticket, an emailed receipt and ticket containing the video conferencing link will be sent to your inbox. When making a purchase for the first time, we recommend establishing an account in order to easily view upcoming event reservations. At least 24 hours before the virtual tasting, a Google Calendar invitation containing the video conferencing link will be sent to your inbox.

For orders that requested shipment, the chocolates will ship directly from Delysia Chocolatier to your door via FedEx expedited shipping. If curbside is selected, the chocolates will be available for pickup directly from Delysia Chocolatier’s Culinary Center during our regular curbside hours.

New experiences are released on our online shop at least 4 weeks before the tasting date and seats can be reserved as soon as the tickets become available for purchase. Every order is handcrafted and made fresh, so your chocolates are shipped within two weeks of the tasting date. You will receive an email with a FedEx tracking number once your truffles have been shipped so you can easily follow the package until it arrives at your home.

Tickets to multiple virtual tastings can be purchased at the same time, as long as those tastings are no more than 2 weeks apart. If the virtual tastings are more than two weeks apart, please place separate orders as your order will need to ship separately, since chocolates are made fresh for each tasting.
