Reviews
We gained insight into the history of chocolate and the chocolate-making process while enjoying a selection of both milk and dark varieties. The host was exceptionally friendly and well-informed.
We visited the Chantilly location for a chocolate tasting, which was a wonderful blend of education and indulgence. This bean-to-bar chocolatier is committed to sustainability, supporting local farmers while practicing mindful conservation. The chocolate is truly delicious. While you can taste the chocolate without signing up for the tasting, the insights gained from it enhance the experience significantly. Those who prefer sweet, milk chocolate might not enjoy every bar, but dark chocolate enthusiasts will likely love it. I've developed a deeper appreciation for chocolate tasting and now savor it more slowly. I highly recommend this place to everyone and plan to return for hot chocolate and more chocolate bars. River Sea Chocolates is truly a delightful spot.

A visit to River-Sea Chocolate Factory for a craft chocolate tasting is a must, whether you live in the DMV or are just passing through. Located in a peaceful office park in Chantilly, the store is easy to find thanks to clear signage. River-Sea stands out due to its commitment to sustainability. Their customer service is exceptional, with a warm welcome from Danielle, who was assisting another guest, while Melissa, our chocolate guide, prepared our tasting. Despite arriving early, Melissa encouraged us to begin as soon as she was ready. She introduced us to cacao beans and showed us images of cacao farms, explaining the sustainable chocolate-making process from "bean to bar," which we found intriguing given our limited knowledge. The chocolate tasting itself was enjoyable and delicious. With Melissa's expertise, we were impressed with our ability to identify the diverse flavors in each chocolate sample. After the tasting, we had plenty of time to choose our favorite chocolate bars and savor freshly made craft hot chocolate. For those not interested in bars, River-Sea also offers wine and chocolate truffles, along with options for hot chocolate and chocolate-wine pairing tastings. A trip to River-Sea is an excellent way to indulge in chocolate experiences.
