Past Events
A Night with Theo
Joe Whinney, CEO and founder of Theo Chocolate, will make a rare appearance in Vancouver for this special event. Theo Chocolate is a fair-trade, certified organic bean-to-bar chocolate producer in Seattle. They were one of the first to create organic chocolate that didn’t taste like dirt. In fact, it tasted amazing. The company’s values, philosophy and transparency is matched only by the passion of the people who work there. The night will feature Theo Chocolate in some surprising ways: as savoury canapes (prepared by Refinery Chef Michael Carter), in cocktails, and paired with artisan wine and beer. Joe Whinney will talk about the company that he founded, and entertain us with stories about the trials and tribulations of being an artisan chocolate maker. This unique event will feature canapes from Chef Mike Carter of the Refinery, the mixology stylings of Lauren Mote, fine wines selected from the Farmstead Wines collection, and the opportunity to taste some amazing chocolate.
