Tasting & Painting Workshops
Discover the power of the paintbrush and see how painting can take your tasting experience to another level!
Like Taste With Colour, tasting and painting workshops are for consumers and industry professionals alike. You will be guided to paint the colours, shapes, patterns and images that come to your mind while tasting chocolate. You won't believe how much you will discover from a square of chocolate via the medium of painting!
The workshops are designed to be fun and lighthearted yet insightful and empowering. Hazel's approach to chocolate tasting is open and inclusive. Everybody has their individual flavour libraries that they have built up over their lifetime, so everyone's flavour expressions will be unique! No painting experience is required.

Tasting & Painting workshops are currently being held online via Zoom. Participants are sent a tasting pack in advance including a Taste With Colour map, a selection of single origin craft chocolate bars, illustrated instructions and a certificate upon completion of the workshop.
The two hour workshop includes a discussion on what is craft chocolate, what flavours notes are and what they mean, a colour and flavour warm up, how to taste chocolate using all five senses, a painting warm up and guided tasting and painting session of each chocolate bar. All participants are invited to share their flavour experiences from their illustrations before we finish with Q&A and a summary.

"The Taste With Colour workshop by Hazel was simply a joy! What a fun way to get to know more about chocolate tasting, "listen" to your own palate and "paint" the tasting notes. Hazel carries such a positive energy and makes everyone feel so relaxed and comfortable to speak up, and share their own tasting notes and opinions."
