You show the QR code to the vendor (either on your phone or printed out) and they scan it with our ChocoFest app on their mobile device and check off how many tickets you’re using with them.
All samples are just one ticket at each vendor.

Taste tickets are just for the samples vendors have. You are welcome to purchase their retail products from them with cash or credit card.
Samples are typically around 10g, about the size of a square of chocolate or a small tasting portion.
They vary by vendor and may include bonbons, chocolate bars, or small dessert-style samples, giving you a meaningful taste of each maker’s chocolate.
This approach allows you to try a wide variety of chocolates while enjoying a true tasting experience.
