MOSI will be hosting The Festival of Chocolate, a unique, educational and interactive event for all the senses. So whether you’re a fan of deep, dark or milky white chocolate, there will be something to please every palate at this tasty event.
Besides being able to taste and purchase almost every form of chocolate known to man, participants will also get to watch demonstrations by award-winning pastry chefs, browse the Chocolate Museum and learn about the history and production of this sweet treat, as well as witness the “Best of” Chocolate Indulgence and chocolate showpiece competitions.
A “Kids-4-Chocolate” workshop will let kids get creative (and provide a complimentary sugar high) with chocolate crafts, while the adults get to try out the chocolate and wine pairing sessions ($10; seats limited, sign up here). There will also be chocolate classes that will teach participants the fine art of working with chocolate ($20; seats limited, sign up here).
Guests will automatically be entered in the Chocolate Decadence Raffle to win some of the gourmet chocolate creations from the featured vendors at the event. Entrance is complimentary with paid admission to MOSI.
See the official Festival of Chocolate Tampa website for class and demonstration schedules and for more information.
