Wine Country Chocolates — Local services in Sonoma

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.

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...
