Taste Tickets and Sampling
You can sample as much (or as little) chocolate as you want at our Festival! Vendors offer samples in exchange for Taste Tickets! They are usually one-ticket-for-one-sample... but it can vary. Sometimes you can taste multiple smaller samples for one ticket, and other times, you can get a large or elaborate sample for two tickets! It typically averages out to one ticket per sample! This allows us to pay our vendors a little something for the tens of thousands of samples that get consumed at our shows - and keeps them coming back with more for you to try! If you find something you love, you can usually buy a box of it to take home for later!
You can buy 12 Taste Tickets for just $10 ... We recommend starting with the 24 for $20, though! You can always buy more at the show - or if you get chocolated-out (Is that even a thing?) you can take home samples in a sample bag for later!
