With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Berkshire couples may find themselves cooking up ideas to celebrate.

And for chocoholics, a confectionary chain believes they have just the answer.

Hotel Chocolat is putting on a chocolate-tasting experience at its Reading branch in the Oracle and its Bracknell branch on Braccan Walk. 

From unapologetically fruity to decadently dark – a spokesman for Hotel Chocolat said they have spent 20 years obsessively developing a deep understanding of flavour, individual tastes and preferences.

The tasting experience lasts 30 minutes, and the public can book with up to three fellow chocolate lovers to share the chocolate happiness. Perfect for those with multiple dates for Valentine’s Day - or those who are commemorating Galentine’s. 

Tickets are £5 per person and attendees will get to choose a Chocolate Selector of their choice to take with them.

The experience will be running on the following dates at the Reading and Bracknell stores: 

Saturday February 10

Sunday February 11

Friday February 16

Saturday February 17 

Sunday February 18
