An evening with Stylist and Hotel Chocolat

Calling all chocolate fans! Join us this summer as we team up with Hotel Chocolat to bring Stylist readers an exclusive multi-sensory event that’ll take you on a journey of exploration, while learning all about the gentle farming initiatives that help connect us with our favourite Hotel Chocolat products.

Increasing pressure on farming methods due to low payments for cacao has led to deforestation, poor soil quality, loss of biodiversity and a cycle of hardship for farming families. Hotel Chocolat believes in working with farmers to develop a better way: one that’s positive for nature and positive for farmers, helping both to thrive.

Taking place on July 1 at Hotel Chocolat’s Richmond Store, the event will spotlight the brand’s gentle farming initiatives and commitment to ethical cacao growing. Attendees will enjoy a guided chocolate tasting led by a senior Hotel Chocolat Chocolatier, revealing insights into cacao’s rich flavour profile, sustainable sourcing practices, and the people behind the process.

There will also be a cacao charcuterie station and cacao bar for guests to relax in while sipping a glass of fizz or a cacao cocktail. Plus, there’s a 10% discount on all products throughout the night, and guests will leave with free gift.
