Book Wine & Chocolate Tasting

For the next 90 minutes, you'll journey through carefully paired wines from our own DKM Cellars portfolio, each matched with handcrafted chocolates and confections that highlight unique flavor combinations you never knew existed.

This isn't Just a Tasting—it's An Unforgettable Immersion Into the Art of Chocolate and Wine.

And for Factory Floor Experience Next:

Get your hands dirty with chocolate—literally

Our Savor the Flavors experience is where chocolate dreams come true. Limited to just 10 guests, you'll step onto our actual factory floor where the real magic happens.

Our master chocolatiers will teach you the professional techniques we use every day—from the precise art of chocolate tempering to the smooth coating process of enrobing. You'll learn the secrets behind creating perfect chocolate confections right alongside our working equipment.

 

But here's where it gets even better—you don't just learn, you create. Roll up your sleeves for the grand finale as we teach you to make Hill Country Chocolate's legendary gourmet caramel popcorn using our signature recipe.

 

Then we'll escort you to our private upstairs tasting room for a wine reception featuring perfectly paired wines, artisanal cheeses, and of course, the chocolate confections you just learned about.

This is chocolate education at its finest—intimate, hands-on, and absolutely delicious.

frequently asked questions

Can I just walk in without a reservation?

Absolutely! Chocolate and wine tasting is available in our retail factory location on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, seating isn't guaranteed, so we recommend booking an experience for the full Hill Country Chocolate adventure.

Are children welcome?

We love families in our retail factory store! However, our reserved experience packages and upstairs tasting room are 21+ only to maintain the intimate wine and chocolate pairing atmosphere.

Will we be seated with other guests?

Yes, our experiences feature communal tables where you'll likely meet other chocolate and wine lovers - most guests tell us this makes the experience even more fun! If you'd prefer a private experience, just reach out to [info@hillcountrychocolate.com](mailto:info@hillcountrychocolate.com) and we'll work something out.

Can you accommodate food allergies?

Our menu changes daily based on what our chocolatiers are crafting, and we work with common allergens including soy, milk, wheat, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts. Unfortunately, we can't modify our tasting menus. If you have severe allergies, please contact [info@hillcountrychocolate.com] (mailto:info@hillcountrychocolate.com) before booking to discuss whether our experiences are right for you.

Is the tasting room accessible?

Our tasting room is upstairs with beautiful factory floor views, but there's no elevator. If you need accommodations, please email [info@hillcountrychocolate.com](mailto:info@hillcountrychocolate.com) before booking and we'll find a solution.

Do online discount codes work for experiences?

Experience packages are priced separately from our retail store and most discount codes don't apply unless specifically noted in the offer. These nationally-recognized experiences are crafted to deliver exceptional value at every price point.
