Learn All About Chocolates in Napa Valley
Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley is Anette’s Chocolates, an award-winning chocolaterie that blends the special and historical connections of the region’s vines, wines and culture into its creations. Anette had a dream of opening a coffee and dessert shop after finishing college. It just so happened that in downtown Napa there was the perfect location to start the endeavor. Anette's brother, Brent Madsen, joined from day one as Master Chocolatier and very soon after Mary Stornetta. With the help from family and wonderful staff, their dream turned into a world of chocolates. A few of their initial cream and caramel recipes (over 75 years old) were handed down by an old Napa candy maker. Brent, Mary and Anette were inspired by a desire to blend unique varietal chocolates, spices, wines, liqueurs, fruits, and nuts into innovative chocolate, sauce and brittles creations that tantalize the senses. Brent worked his magic, using the best ingredients, and created an ensemble of artisan truffles, brittles, sauces, nut creams, salted caramels and much more. On a daily basis he designs flavor profiles for each and future confectionery creations. Chocolate lovers can share in Master Chocolatier Brent’s passion for the exquisite and experience traditional chocolate-making methods and its relationship to the wine country. Guests visiting San Francisco can participate in the small group Tower Tours Taste of Wine Country tour which includes a visit to Anette’s Chocolates with chocolate tasting as well as stops at other culinary favorites in the region. Round-trip transportation as well as complimentary hotel pick-up from most San Francisco-area hotels are included. Read more
