The most fancy and atmospheric place in Salmon Arm. Had the chocolate tasting for $9.00 and felt like I was in a big city for a hour. The chocolate was amazing, and the freshly made loose leaf oolong tea was great too. More people need to come here.

Our team had a great time at the classic tasting! Geoseph is very knowledgeable and selected great chocolates that were interesting and tasty! I would 100% do it again or recommend to others to do the same for a corporate event.

Definitely put a chocolate tasting on your to-do list while in Salmon Arm. We took some family here while they were visiting us, and it was such a fun activity that we all enjoyed. Educational AND tasty, you won't be disappointed. Great atmosphere and Geoseph was very friendly and welcoming.

I have done 3 chocolate tastings with Geoseph and they were all wonderful and unique experiences. I have done a virtual tasting with my cousins, a tea & chocolate tasting in person with my cousins and a cheese & chocolate tasting in person with my husband and kids. Geoseph is very knowledgeable about the chocolate and the chocolate making process which was very interesting to learn about. It was so fun to taste so many wonderful kinds of chocolate. I highly recommend this with a group of friends or family. Both the online and in person tastings were fabulous. I can’t wait to go back!!!

An awesome experience! If your passionate about tasting and learning about chocolate in all its glory then you need to see Geoseph.

Spend some time and do the tasting. Geoseph knows his products and will recommend some amazing chocolates! I will be booking a private party soon.

I signed up for a private, zoom tutorial to work on my tempering skills. Geoseph walked me through techniques, we discussed recipes, tips and tricks, and he offered feedback on the completed chocolates. After I finished, I was able to successfully temper three batches of a recipe I was struggling with. I feel much more confident and look forward to working on my new techniques. Once I master tempering, I’ll probably reach out to work on other skills as well. Great class! Thank you!

Geoseph demonstrates his passion for chocolate through an engaging and interactive presentation. Whilst describing not only the history of chocolate, but also providing an experience of tasting each chocolate piece with the background of origin and chocolate making process, he managed to instill in me an appreciation and enjoyment for chocolate that I've never known. Thank you Geoseph!

My daughters and I enjoyed a chocolate tasting experience to celebrate 2 birthdays. We chocoholics learned a lot, had a great time savoring a variety of chocolates and attempting to describe our experiences. Geoseph is very knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and a great chocolate guide. You will never look at chocolate in the same way after visiting Geoseph.

We love this website, the dark chocolate and, most of all, Geoseph, the site owner. He loves chocolate and is incredibly generous in sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of the subject. And he has a fantastic selection of bean to bar chocolate bars. Every month we buy 10-12 bars and then each evening after dinner, we have small pieces from three or four bars and talk about the taste of each. We've been doing this for a year now and have developed a little sophistication about the different tastes of good chocolate. It's been a wonderful and delicious education and we are just beginning. And learning more about chocolate and its different personalities has made us more discerning when it comes to eating sweets. We eat far less than we did before we took up the bean to bar habit.

What a wonderful time we had with Geoseph!!!
Attending the Tasting and Education event with Geoseph was a birthday surprise for my husband. It turned out to be a fabulous trip around the world of chocolate, with history, education, amazing taste treats, and a coaching on how to expand our enjoyment, of not only chocolate, but everything we eat!

I highly recommend this delightful experience, for anyone who has a mouth, and nose !!!.
What a fabulous gift, or experience to share with family and friends.
We'll be back Geoseph
Gratefully, Donna & David Ross

Geoseph was kind enough to put together a DIY chocolate tasting for our group since we were at a cabin with no internet. We found the booklet to be very helpful in understanding the entire start- to- finish process and how to fully experience the chocolate. The choices presented were a nice mix. All were surprised at how different our responses were to the same chocolate! For example, chocolate A presented as raspberry to one, molasses to a few and smoky tobacco to the rest of the group. I was repeatedly asked, "what's in this one?" Just the three same ingredients. Dry fine chocolate and a Wonderful experience!

This place is awesome, be sure check this place out it’s a must stop in Salmon Arm.

I had two lessons already with Geoseph and received many practical advice. He helped me to solve all the issues I had in chocolate making.
If any problems may come up in the future I would not turn anywhere else for help. Really appreciate it! Thank you!

- Karolina G.

We found the tasting very informative. Geoseph presents in a leisurely, friendly fashion with lots of opportunity to ask questions.
We found his enthusiasm about chocolate fun to experience. Sampling 16 different chocolate tastes and learning about their history
kept us enthralled.
We would recommend a tasting to anyone who enjoys new gustatory experiences. One doesn't have to be a chocolate lover to appreciate a session with Geoseph.
Geoseph bends over backwards to accommodate the clients' wishes.

- Anne D.

We all really enjoyed the tasting. The kids learned a lot about chocolate and how to appreciate and differentiate superior quality compared to the average bar sold in big retailers. We will see you again. Thank you!

- Jay B.

Spent the morning with Geoseph learning all about chocolate, in a beautiful venue in Salmon Arm. There is so much more about fine chocolate than I ever expected and Geoseph is a knowledgeable, experienced, fun chocolatier to learn it from. The taste testing was amazing, and I have already cracked open the bars I was able to purchase at the end of the class. Thank you Geoseph for all you do, see you again in the fall for the Truffle Making Class.

- Karen M.

My wife and I had an extraordinarily instructive and delightful online choc tasting experience today with Geoseph. He's a master and a great teacher, and we came away from this experience with heightened appreciation for tasting in general, and for fine-quality chocolates and chocolate-makers. Wow!

Our beautifully-packaged box with the samples arrived in the mail a few days earlier, allowing us time to prepare and anticipate.

The cost? There's about $40 of fine choc in that box, not counting the shipping, so this tasting lesson would seem to be grounded primarily in Geoseph's desire to teach others about the delights of fine quality cacao and chocolate.

I can see a tasting session like this working really well for a small group, or family, with everyone experiencing the tastes differently. Order boxes for everyone and come prepared to learn and laugh.

Thank you Geoseph.

Did a tasting with Geoseph. He gave us a good overview of artisanal chocolate and it opened up a whole new world. Had no idea I was basically having fast-food level chocolate all my life. That's not a knock, I love fast food too, but imagine having a home cooked meal after eating Wendy's all your life. Great experience.

- Janky

Always an absolute pleasure getting to eat and share chocolate with Geoseph. He is very knowledgeable, passionate and our experiences are always so fun and delicious! Don't look anywhere else for fine chocolate as the selection and expertise along with it cannot be surpassed. Thanks so much!
