A Corporate Chocolate Experience — Anywhere in the Country

 We ship handcrafted artisan chocolates to your team or clients nationwide, paired with a live or recorded guided tasting led by founder Dan McCoy.

Bring the Hill Country to Your Team

Your best clients are in Chicago. Your remote team is spread across 12 states. Your top customers are coast to coast. How do you create a shared, memorable experience when everyone isn't in the same room?  We ship them the experience. Hill Country Chocolate's Virtual Chocolate Experience Package lets you treat your team, clients, or customers to a guided artisan chocolate tasting — no matter where they are. We handcraft the chocolates, ship curated tasting kits to every participant's door, and then walk them through the experience together. It's personal. It's memorable. And it's nothing like the generic gift basket that ends up in a drawer.

Companies Are Using Virtual Chocolate Experiences For...

Remote Team Holidays

Replace the impersonal e-gift card with a shared experience your distributed team will actually enjoy together. Ship kits, hop on a call, and celebrate the season as a team — even when you're 2,000 miles apart.

National Client Appreciation

Show your top clients across the country that you value the relationship. A handcrafted chocolate tasting kit with a personal video from the chocolatier himself says more than any fruit basket ever could.

Company Milestones & Celebrations

Closed a funding round? Hit a revenue target? Launched a new product? Celebrate with your whole company — not just whoever happens to be in the office that day.

Virtual Holiday Parties

Give your holiday party something to do besides awkward small talk on Zoom. A guided chocolate tasting gives everyone a shared activity, natural conversation starters, and something delicious in front of them.

Customer Loyalty & VIP Programs

Reward your best customers with an experience that makes them feel like insiders — not just another name on a list.
