Elite Event Haut Chocolate & Bubbles at Vosges

Went to this Elite Event as a Guest.
Vosges was fantastic in every way shape and form.
Thank you Unilocal for putting together these wonderful events!

WHOA. WHERE DID MY REVIEW GO???
Hmmph!!!
Anywho— this was my very FIRST Unilocal event! So fun!!! I am a long time chocolate lova people! And I was so excited to come out, try all the delicious-​ness available and mingle with other UnilocalERS!
Personally, I think you really cant go wrong with picking any of the items here, but I was ALL ABOUT the white chocolate shake shots and the BACON and CHOCOLATE satay-​like sticks!
PLUS: there were goodie bags given to attendants with check in!
Such a great event! Thanks Brittany! :)

*Champagne, chocolate… AND BACON? I’m IN!*
Thanks Brittany for setting up! What a great first Unilocal elite event! I thoroughly enjoyed all the delectable sweets all over the place. Champaign was so lovely to wash down all the sweetness. I really like the sweet with salty, so those truffles were a winner for me!
*IOLIO D’OLIVIA TRUFFLE: white chocolate with dried kalamata olives.. The chocolate with olive was a nice combination. One of my favs of the night!
*ROOSTER TRUFFLE: Taleggio cheese, walnut, Tahitian vanilla bean and dark .
MARRONE PISTACHIO TRUFFLE = chestnuts, pistacio and milk chocolate
NAGA TRUFFLE:= coconut and milk chocolate, dusted curry powder. I like!
BROWNIE WITH TOFFEE CRUNCH: Amaaazeee
*TOFFEE Samples: YUMMM
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: These were just ok for me.
**BACON ON A STICK W CHOCOLATE: The absolute BOMB!!! I kept going back for those! Sometimes I would just eat the bacon to balance out all the sweetness goin on.
I have a friend who goes to their store in Vegas every time shes there to get the chocolate Bar with Bacon. I was in Vegas with her a week before the event and as tradition she made a stop there at their store in Ceasars and now i see why.
Adorable chocolate gifts. Great for Christmas!
There is an adorable café/​Hot chocolate bar in the back! I spoke to the manager and apparently they change up their menu quite often and that is the most profitable part of the store, only offered in this location! I’m definitely coming back!

An amazing event!!! There was literally chocolate goodies everywhere, with an assortment of flavors– from the normal peppermint to olive, bacon, rum and curry with chocolate. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. This store is definitely something special and it’s definitely a place that I will be coming back to and telling people about. Everything was soooo delicious. For my first Unilocal event it was above and beyond what I expected. Thank you to Brittany! Oh and the gift bags were amazing!

All you can eat high quality, delicious chocolates chased with refreshing champagne… Best. Event. Ever.
I had such a great time. The Unilocal and Vosges staff out did themselves. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. I never had to search for staff members to ask questions. They were so conversational and outgoing that it helped make the night. In between the chatting, a barrage of flavors passed my palate with each chocolate treat– rose, rum, olive oil, white chocolate lavender, and last but not least dense chocolate with bacon on a stick.
I would definitely get more Vosges products in the future (they sell their chocolate bars at Whole Foods, but the selection in their store is soooo much better).

This event was so much fun! Service was so friendly and I especially enjoyed talking to one of the knowledgable employees who worked at Vosges about the different gift options and her experienced working in the store. Seriously, though… service was amazing. Somone asked us if we were interested in champagne, they told us to stay seated and actually went to get it for us!
It was fun to sample all of the different flavors of chocolate and to talk to Brittany and Katie and see them get excited about chocolates too even if this may have been their hundredth Elite event.
The truffles were melt in your mouth amazing, especially the curry flavored naga truffle and the eggnog truffle. Vosges is NOT See’s Candy. It is NOT the Belgian chocolates you buy in boxes at Costco or Trader Joes. The fresh ingredients really made a difference.
I brought back bacon, wasabi, and curry chocolate bars to share with my partner at home. The great thing about Vosges is that although it is a fancy chocolatier in Beverly Hills, there are some items in the store, like the mini chocolate bars, that are affordably priced at $ 2. (Then there are some items that are more expensive, like a $ 1000 steamer trunk of chocolates.) Closer to Christmas, I want to come back and try and get some for stocking stuffers and small colleague gifts.
One part of the store that wasn’t featured was the coffee and hot chocolate bar. The menu looked awesome, and they use fresh milk, not creamer. Yet, drinks were Starbucks priced. I am glad that Vosges invited us over because I think otherwise I would not have discovered it. I need to come back to try their coffee.

Pro: Chocolate, chocolate everywhere!
Cons: Chocolate, EVERYWHERE
My first Elite event and it was awesome! I knew that I would get to taste delicious stuff, but I was not prepared for the crazy awesome combinations that greeted me. FIrst of all, you line up outside and get your name tag, you then walk in and chocolate platters greet you from all directions. There were some nice combinations like roses and chocolate, and some terrible ones: curry and chocolate-​really? Over all the staff was amazing, thank you for the champagne and chocolate shots. I will definitively come back with my coupon from my goody bag.
The people I meet were

A fantastic night of chocolate and bubbles. The venue was great and felt like you were walking through a bazaar in a far corner of the world. We sampled delicious chocolates with interesting combinations like olives, cheese or bacon while sipping on champagne.
The goodie bag was an awesome bonus and must take advantage of the deals for the holidays. Perfect stocking stuffers for the discriminating chocolate connoisseur in your life.

SO MUCH DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE.

I felt like homer simpson when he was in that candyland dream except my candyland was chocolate land and i was eating everything. Such fun people too. Another amazing 5 star event Brittany bravo!

This was a very classy, intimate, well put together event. Free flowing champagne and chocolates galore, how can you go wrong?
This was a chocolate lover’s dream. Hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, brownie bites (with toffee on top), chocolates filled with chocolate cheesecake, chocolate skewers with bacon (perfect sweet/​salty combination), and an array of interesting chocolates all over (white chocolate with peppermint, white chocolate with olive oil, milk chocolate with curry, etc.).
We were warned to please eat dinner before because this was a sweet only event, but I sure am glad I didn’t! A chocolate and champagne dinner? Score!
They even gave us beautiful gift bags to take home.
What a great little shop, thank you Brittany for organizing this event and introducing it to me!

I am pretty big on ambiance… and this place had it! Tastefully decorated and inviting.
The truffles were amazing! Flavors bursting in my mouth with every bite. This was a great night indeed!
I don’t think I tasted anything bad here. The bacon and chocolate skewers were the highlight for me (although the Choco Chip Cookies ranked right up there too).
This was my first Elite Event and it was awesome! Thank you Brittany B. for putting together a very well organized event! Thanks to the amazing staff at Haut as well! When I am in the area again… I will be popping in for some Chocolat!

My first LA Elite Event and what a great event it was as well. Vosges is a fantastic host making sure there was plenty of chocolate all around and that patrons were taken care of and happy.
The favorite was certainly the Tallegio, chocolate and walnut concoction. What an interesting, surprising and fantastic little treat! The cashier helper described it as a chocolate cheesecake and it really was a rich little handheld cheesecake!
Thank you Vosges and thank you Brittany for a wonderfully chocolate night! I think I’m good on chocolate for a few days!
To Sum it up,
V is for VaVaVoom chocolates
O is for Outstanding event
S is for Sinfully delicious
G is for Girls Night!
E is for Elegant
S is for Sexy (believe it or not, chocolate can be sexy!)
Thanks again!

Haut chocolates indeed!
Thanks to the Unilocal Elite tasting event, I could say I’m a Vosges fan~ Adorable boutique in heart of Bev Hills offers interesting & exotic chocolates found in truffles, bars, and baked forms:
* Marrone Pistachio truffle = chestnuts, pistacio, and 45% milk chocolate… def favorite from the tasting~
* Naga truffle = dusted curry powder, coconut in milk chocolate… yums
* Olio d’Oliva truffle = white chocolate with dried kalamata olives and EVOO… couldn’t taste much of the olives
* Rooster truffle = Taleggio cheese, walnut, Tahitian vanilla bean and dark chocolate… guess I’m not much of a cheese+chocolate fan!
* Egg nog & Jamaican rum white chocolate truffle = I don’t enjoy egg nog but it was interesting to taste.
* Brownie with toffee crunch = decadent
Looking to try both the Wooloomooloo (macadamia nut) and champagne truffles the next time I visit the boutique~
Great choice if you’re looking for elegant chocolate gifting!

Can chocolate be sexy? CAN IT?! Can IT?!
I never thought it could, but after attending the Unilocal event with my big bro Guillermo C., and sinking my teeth into the luxurious creamy truffle… I thought… well… maybe chocolate CAN be sexy!
I told the sweet girls at the shop, «I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE! Please adopt me and keep me at this shop!»
[+1] Their chocolates are SO bizarre/​strange but they taste so delicious! I tried their medleys of spicy chocolates, their bacon chocolates, and their peppermint chocolates! They were so good! Normally I’m not a fan of spicy chocolate because I’ve tried it before from other places and they were always too strong, but not here! It’s the right pinch of smooth and flavored. Their toffee is also amazing too!
[+1] Their chocolate shots are amazing and so smooth and creamy! Their powder doesn’t choke you, it just glides smoothly and it’s like you’re drinking heaven!
[+1] Their packaging is unbelieveably beautiful! They have these gorgeous packages that look like vintage, Victorian purple books that just remind me of the old tomes you find in libraries that house classics.
[+1] The décor inside is absolutely beautiful and so fashionable! You’ll feel like the chocolates are housed alongside luxuries like typical boutiques on Melrose and of course, Beverly Hills!
[+1] The prices are pretty reasonable! It’s not super cheap, but it’s not ridiculous either. A regular bar is around $ 7.50 ish. Great for gifts! [:
Tip: This place is close to a couple great restaurants if you know what I mean! :D

This event was absolutely fantastic and I was impressed with the seemingly endless spread of chocolates. There was no holding back here– they just kept the chocolate coming and did a fantastic job walking around and distributing everything. I am obsessed with chocolate but even I have to admit that, at some point, I could not handle it any more. What a pity!
The champaign was a nice complement to the truffles, brownies, cookies, and liquid chocolate shots. Did I forget to mention the bacon chocolate? I am a sucker for the peppermint option so I those were my favorite truffes but it was great to try other unique combinations.
The staff was super nice and helpful. The ambiance was really relaxed and the right number of people attended not making it too full or too empty. I like the music selection and it was just fun to walk around and mingle. Brittany, Katie, and Jessica all did a wonderful job putting this together! Thanks so much for the fun night!

Smittened! This was a decadent event from the sexy displays of chocolate with detailed touches of rose petals, to the gorgeous décor from walls to ceiling, the helpful and amazingly friendly staff, Champagne bubbles, and of course the real star of the show the Haut Chocolate! Vosges shared their chocolate gems in various mediums from brownies, to truffles, to chocolate shots, haut chocolate, cookies, and my favorite chocolate covered caramels with crispy bacon. What a great place for holiday gift shopping and if you get a craving to induldge in high quality chocolates! Thanks Brittany B. for another amazing event!

This was one of my favorite Unilocal events. Small, intimate, amazing chocolate and bubbles. In short, happiness.
The store is GORGEOUS! even prettier than the one in NY.
There were displays of chocolate everywhere with delicate truffles carefully arranged in big trays. My favorite was the pointy cheese truffle. I also loved the caramels with bacon and the eggnog truffles.
I can’t wait to go back with my friends for an afternoon of hot chocolate and gourmet brownies.

You had me at chocolate! One of the things I love most about Unilocal events is that you get introduced to places you may not normally go! Vosges HautChocolat in Beverly Hills is one of these places!
We are greeted so kindly by the Vosges staff to sample many of their offerings from luxurious truffles and chocolate bars, baked goods that they sell mixes for, and some champagne! If you love chocolate and sugar, you would be floating on cloud 9!
The décor of this boutique is trendy, intimate and great for small gatherings! I loved the concepts and the displays they had for all of their merchandise. If you saw all of the cute boxes and decorations that they use, you would want to get them as gifts for your friends too!
Thanks Brittany and Vosges HautChocolat for inviting us and hosting a really amazing and fun event!
Shout out to my new Unilocal friends Sami and Marco as well as my co-​worker Ryanne who attended her first Unilocal event! =D

I have to write this while my sugar high is going strong… I am stuffed with chocolate. From the familiar (peppermint) to the new (olive and white chocolate) we experienced all kinds of flavors tonight at Vosges. Chocolatier Katrina incorporates her worldly travels into her desserts; they offer flavors from all over the world, from chili to bacon to pistachio.
Highlights for me were the chocolate chip cookies and the bacon and chocolate skewer. Other great samples included egg nog truffles, truffles with curry flavor, brownies with toffee, and truffles with a cheese flavor.
The staff was super friendly and eager to help, and we got 10% off the store. I purchased a salted caramel bar, and my friend and I plan to come back and try their drink menu as well. And I can’t forget to mention the goodie bag which included a naga bar (curry) and some assorted truffles.
Thank you to Brittany and Katie for a great event… So glad I made it in, thank you, ladies! And thank you of course to Vosges for generously hosting us Unilocalers!

Omg amazing bacon and chocolate! What an amazing event! That bacon was cooked perfect, i wish i could have this sitting on my bedside every morning when i wake up!
My personal favorite was the olive chocolate, its a white chocolate and seemed like a funky combo, but it was tasty! I also really enjoyed the eggnog truffle and the brownies.
