EVERY FOURTH SATURDAY

Wine and Chocolate Pairing

What makes wine and chocolate such great companions and how does one find the best match of dark, spicy, and fruity chocolate with the plethora of sweet, dry, full bodied, and light wines? We’ll show you how similar the terroir, varieties, fermentation, and processing of delicious locally-made gourmet chocolate is with the full range of wine as we step through flights of both. We’ll diverge from the standard port & dark chocolate pairings to show how a nice Riesling can go well with a tangy dark chocolate and even Cabernet Sauvignon can blend smoothly with certain assertive chocolates. We will step you through some of the history of chocolate, how it's intersected with wine in the past, present, & future, while tasting some of the best vintage wines with Madre Chocolate's fine chocolate bars.

Cost: $40

You’ll be ready to start your own cacao farm & bean-to-bar chocolate shop after this tour!

Hawaii Storytellers: How I Make Ends Meet

For those of us who call Hawaii our home, we know it’s not always sunshine and rainbows. Many of us face the everyday challenges of rising housing costs, limited access to affordable goods and low wages that don't keep up with Hawaii's high cost of living. But somehow, we make it work.

This fall, Civil Beat presents Hawaii Storytellers: How I Make Ends Meet. Join us as we hear real stories about struggle and hope from voices in our community. Through their personal narratives, we’ll hear stories of our time and learn how living in Hawaii requires sacrifice, grit and in some cases creative solutions.

EVERY FOURTH SATURDAY

Wine and Chocolate Pairing

What makes wine and chocolate such great companions and how does one find the best match of dark, spicy, and fruity chocolate with the plethora of sweet, dry, full bodied, and light wines? We’ll show you how similar the terroir, varieties, fermentation, and processing of delicious locally-made gourmet chocolate is with the full range of wine as we step through flights of both. We’ll diverge from the standard port & dark chocolate pairings to show how a nice Riesling can go well with a tangy dark chocolate and even Cabernet Sauvignon can blend smoothly with certain assertive chocolates. We will step you through some of the history of chocolate, how it's intersected with wine in the past, present, & future, while tasting some of the best vintage wines with Madre Chocolate's fine chocolate bars.
