Fine Chocolate & Spirits Pairing

Past event

This page shows the historical details for Saturday 23 May 2026. If this event returns in 2027, the new details are not published yet.

Fine Chocolate & Spirits Pairing brings Helena Nicklin and Chantal Coady OBE to Bar 46 for a Cowes Fringe tasting experience.

Presented by Cowes Fringe

Fine Chocolate & Spirits Pairing is a Cowes Fringe tasting at Bar 46, pairing premium chocolate with spirits in the bar's private event space above Cowes High Street. It is a slower, grown-up food and drink choice for Saturday, useful if you want the festival atmosphere without committing to a theatre seat for the evening.

The official listing says the tasting is delivered with local lifestyle brand Jack Thompson and led by wine expert Helena Nicklin alongside chocolatier Chantal Coady OBE, founder of The Chocolate Detective. Expect guided pairings rather than a casual drink, so book if you want a small, hosted experience with enough detail to make the flavours make sense. Check Cowes Fringe's tasting page for the final format and ticket details.
