As a group of alumni from Falls Church High School, we are always in search of enjoyable activities together. I discovered River-Sea Chocolate Factory through Trip Advisor, and we were thrilled with the choice! The Chocolate and Wine Pairing class was outstanding. It was a lot of fun, and we learned plenty from our instructor, Melissa. Sampling the exquisite chocolates and wines was also a highlight. Thank you, River-Sea Chocolate Factory, for a wonderful experience! We look forward to returning for more.
The venue was fantastic. It served as the ideal spot for getting together with friends to enjoy a chocolate and wine pairing experience.
We had a wonderful time! David led our chocolate and wine pairing, and he was fantastic. Each chocolate was tasty and distinct, and the wine pairings complemented them well. Hearing from David about the bean to bar process and their conservation efforts, along with the incredible cacao farms they collaborate with, was fascinating. I highly recommend this for chocolate and wine enthusiasts or anyone seeking a unique evening in Chantilly.
Dave was a fantastic host, and the staff was very welcoming and attentive. We gained a great deal of knowledge about the chocolate-making process at River Sea Chocolates, and the chocolate itself was incredibly tasty. The wine pairings were thoughtfully selected, clearly explained, and enhanced the flavors of the chocolate beautifully. Both our minds and taste buds were amazed in the best possible way. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys chocolate and wine.
Learning about wine and chocolates was incredibly enjoyable. Although the wines leaned towards the sweeter side, it was still a great experience. The guide was friendly and well-informed, teaching us a lot about the process of crafting unique chocolates.
This experience is a true paradise for chocolate lovers and a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in the rich history and artistry of fine chocolate. River Sea Chocolate showcases their dedication to quality and sourcing. It’s more than just cooking; it’s a labor filled with love and passion. Our guide, Dave, was enthusiastic as he introduced us to five distinct craft chocolates paired with fine wines, sharing engaging tales about the history and process of chocolate-making. You will definitely depart with the delightful scents of cacao, a more sophisticated palate, exquisite chocolate treats, and a deep appreciation for the art of chocolate crafting.
This was an amazing experience. The shop, tucked away in multiuse buildings, is outstanding. Our host, Dave, is knowledgeable and eager to answer questions about cocoa trees and the chocolate-making process from dark to white. His enthusiasm for sharing details made the demonstration enjoyable. The artisanal candies are a true delight, both in taste and presentation; choose what catches your eye and you won’t be disappointed. If friends are visiting, make sure to include River Sea Chocolate in your plans.
I had a wonderful experience tasting chocolate and wine. Our guides were both knowledgeable and entertaining, and the chocolate was truly delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the combination of chocolate with olive oil and, of course, I loved the rum-infused chocolate. The wine pairings were excellent as well. I ended up purchasing a chocolate bar with rosemary, a unique combination I hadn’t considered before. Unfortunately, I can't remember our guides' names—though I think they might have been Melissa and John. They were lovely! My friend visited with her baby, and everyone was very accommodating and kind. I’m from out of state but will definitely return if possible.
Dave led my family through an excellent wine and chocolate tasting experience. I enjoyed learning about the history of the business, reflecting their deep passion for what they do. Chocolate lovers will truly appreciate trying their delightful creations. The chocolates are truly exceptional. This is a fantastic option for a unique and enjoyable outing. I highly recommend it!
We had a fantastic experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and made sure to address all our questions. My family and I strongly recommend this tour; we all felt it was the best one we've ever done.
