North Idaho's Private Chocolate Tasting Room
Located at our Hayden production facility is one of the region's most unique culinary experiences: an intimate guided chocolate tasting unlike anything else in North Idaho.
Inspired by the structure and sensory exploration of fine wine tastings, this private 80-90 minute experience invites guests to discover how ingredients, craftsmanship, texture, and flavor combine to create truly exceptional confections.
Led personally by Robinson Confections co-owner Todd Robinson, each session explores the stories, techniques, ingredients, and flavor development behind our award-winning creations while guests enjoy a curated tasting flight of nearly every confection currently produced by Robinson Confections.
The Full Flight Experience
During this immersive guided tasting, guests will sample a curated flight of Robinson Confections creations, including multiple international award winners:
• Signature Mountain Ruby Huckleberry Chocolate
• Liqueur-Based English Toffees
• Classic English Toffee
• Soft Nut Brittles
• Belgian Chocolates with Inclusions
Guests are also introduced to the couverture-grade chocolates used throughout our collection, including white, milk, dark, and ruby chocolate while learning how each influences flavor, texture, and overall tasting experience.
Complimentary water and table water crackers are provided to cleanse the palate between selections.
Each guest also receives a take-home box for any samples not consumed during the session.
Curated Tasting Sessions
The experience starts at $149 for a private 2-guest tasting session.
Each additional guest adds $40 (8 guest maximum).
Optional Dubai Chocolate Bar Sampling
Add a Dubai Chocolate Bar square for +$5 per guest. The bar we offer for tasting sessions is enrobed in a 33.6% Belgian milk chocolate to allow the filling ingredients to take center stage on the palate without any competition.
Experience the flavor and learn the history of our internationally recognized authentic Dubai Chocolate Bars. Crafted with pistachio cream, Tahini, and butter-fried Kataifi our bar was honored with five medals at the 2025 International Chocolate Salon, including Silver for Best Taste, Best Texture, and Best Overall Chocolate Bar in North America.
