Love is in the Air

This event is no longer on sale.

Sunday February 11

3:00 PM  –  5:00 PM

As the first of the Food for Thought series, Santa Fe Botanical Garden celebrates Valentine’s Day with the sensuous pairing of chocolate and wine at our Love is in the Air event on February 11 at the Niman Gallery.

Led by Master Chocolatier, Melanie Boudar, from Cacao Santa Fe you will learn about the cacao tree - where it’s grown, the challenges farmers face growing cacao, and how it's harvested. The post-harvest practices such as fermentation and drying of the beans, and finally the critical roasting step, are responsible for chocolate’s unique taste and texture. During the last part of the afternoon we will enjoy a guided tasting of five unique chocolates from different origins along with five wines specifically chosen by David Enright, wine aficionado from the Arroyo Vino Wine Shop. Each pairing will be introduced by the chocolate and wine experts to illuminate what characteristics make the perfect pairing.

Tickets are $65 for members, and $75 for non-members.

Join us for our Love is in the Air event and show your taste buds some amore.
