Wine Country Chocolates, Sonoma CA

Employee here was so kind, genuine, friendly and helpful. The store and chocolate pieces are aesthetically pleasing.

The chocolate is 61% which isn’t quite dark enough for me as I don’t consider chocolate to be dark if it’s less than 70% so for that reason I knocked off a star as the chocolate wasn’t as rich or decadent as I’d like.

Surprisingly my favorite was ‘The Elvis’ which is filled with peanut butter and banana. Very original flavors in a chocolate truffle which impressed me. Also liked the mint which had the perfect level of mint flavor without being overwhelming.

Oh my goodness! They are simple elegant, delicious, and the woman, Cheryl, was beyond helpful. I would recommend these to everyone. I am ordering again as a hostess gift.

This store is a perfect 5/5, between the store, the chocolate, and the customer service.

The lady running the shop was extremely nice and helpful, and gave perfect recommendations on what to try.

I cannot accurately represent how good the chocolate here is with just words, and how good of a deal it is. I have been to Europe, have had chocolates from a wide variety of sources, and these match the best of the best. They are handmade, and you really can taste the love put into them. The selection is quite nice, there are plenty of options, and the quality is very high.

The darker chocolate used isn't overly bitter, nothing is excessively sweet, flavors match and complement each other. The chocolate has a satisfying snap to it, and doesn't melt when you hold it, but melts quite nicely in your mouth.

My personal recommendation: if you get a single item from this store, make it a sea turtle.

Wonderful chocolate shop. Very very friendly service. Chocolates were excellent. Be sure to listen to her recommendations.
