Something About Peru Sticks With You

Join Victoria, Boston’s only chocolate sommelier and a favorite ProgramWorks presenter, for a fascinating journey into Peru — a country of extraordinary landscapes, ancient traditions, remarkable food, and some of the world’s most celebrated cacao.

Returning from her second trip to Peru, Victoria shares the people, places and experiences that brought her back — from walking among cacao trees and cracking open fresh pods to meeting growers and makers and experiencing the culture surrounding one of the world’s most beloved foods.

Filled with Victoria’s own photographs and stories, this is much more than a chocolate program. It’s an armchair journey through a place that has a way of getting under your skin.

As Victoria puts it: “Something about Peru just sticks with you.”

Optional Chocolate Tasting

Make it a complete experience by adding a guided tasting of carefully selected chocolates, including Peruvian chocolate when available. Victoria will lead guests through what to notice, taste and appreciate — connecting what’s in the chocolate to the people and places they’ve just discovered.
