Chocolat Artisanal: À La Française

Indulge in an exquisite celebration of French chocolate craftsmanship this spring at our central London location. We’re thrilled to present “Chocolat Artisanal: À La Française,” an exclusive evening dedicated to the art of premium French chocolate-making. Join us as we welcome renowned chocolatier Maître Pierre Duchamp from Lyon, who will guide guests through an intimate tasting journey featuring rare single-origin cacaos, innovative ganache creations, and traditional French confections. This sophisticated soirée promises to transport your palate to the cobblestone streets of Paris, where chocolate is not merely a sweet treat but an expression of culinary artistry passed down through generations.

Throughout the evening, guests will discover the secrets behind France’s most celebrated chocolate houses, from the tempering techniques that create that perfect snap to the subtle flavor pairings that elevate each piece into a work of edible art. Maître Duchamp will demonstrate live chocolate-making techniques while sharing stories from his family’s century-old atelier. Complementing the chocolate tasting, our sommelier has curated a selection of French wines and champagnes specifically chosen to enhance the complex notes of each chocolate variety. The intimate setting of our hotel’s private dining room accommodates just 30 guests to ensure a personalized experience, and each attendee will receive a beautifully packaged selection of artisanal chocolates to take home.
