Private Gearharts Chocolate Experience

An Exclusive Member Social | Charlottesville, VA

Growth happens in many environments — including the ones that take us out of the boardroom and into shared experiences.

You’re invited to a private chocolate tasting and truffle-making experience at the renowned Gearharts Fine Chocolates in Charlottesville — led personally by founder Tim Gearhart and hosted by VACEOs member Bryant Harrison of Seventh Wall.

This is an evening designed for connection, conversation, and a little indulgence — exclusively for our VACEOs community.
