Ethel M Chocolates is hosting virtual Valentine's tasting experiences across Valentine's Day weekend to give people the chance to participate in fun and safe experiences from the comfort and convenience of home. Purchasing a Virtual Chocolate Tasting for two provides customers access to a heart-shaped tasting kit filled with a selection of 14 chocolates, plus two tasting mats. On Zoom, kit recipients will be taken through a sensory experience to elevate the chocolates all the more.
The fun and accessible experience has the potential to appeal to those who are looking for a gourmet treat, a romantic gesture or a simple way to connect with friends, family and loved ones during a challenging time where face-to-face visits may not be possible.
