For Venues and Their Guests

Memorable for guests.
Practical for hosts.

A reason to gather

A guided, social experience designed to spark discovery and conversation.

Built around what you serve

Pairing programs are developed around the coffee, beer, or wine the venue wants to showcase.

Clear, flexible collaboration

Azoth brings the chocolate and guides the tasting while responsibilities, service, and event format are agreed upon with each venue.

Four Ways to Taste

One ingredient.
Four perspectives.

Cacao & Cup

Taste how cacao origin, fermentation, and roast meet the nuanced character of specialty coffee.

Cacao & Craft

Explore fine chocolate alongside beer through malt, fermentation, bitterness, and aroma.

Cacao & Vine

Discover how fruit, tannin, acidity, fermentation, and origin connect chocolate and wine.

Cacao & Cocoa

Taste four fine chocolates while exploring cacao history, origin, craft production, and flavor - no beverage required.

Educational + Sensory + Social

Taste. Compare.
Notice more.

Guests explore unexpected combinations, trade impressions, and build a richer vocabulary for flavor - guided without feeling lectured.
