Gourmet Boutique was born from a love of travel—stumbling across tucked-away patisseries, swapping stories with local chocolate makers, and coming home with suitcases bursting with sweet, handcrafted treasures. In 2003, those delicious adventures turned into our cozy chocolate haven in Boston’s Back Bay.Since then, we’ve tasted over 1, 500 chocolates, trekked to cacao farms and sourcing regions around the world, and spent the better part of a quarter-century diving deep into the world of ethically sourced, bean-to-bar chocolate. It’s safe to say—we’ve done our homework (and eaten it too).Our mission? To share the magic of craft chocolate—and the incredible people behind it. We proudly partner with makers who care deeply about ethics, traceability, and flavor. Through direct trade relationships and responsible sourcing, these artisans uplift farming communities and create chocolates that tell a better, more meaningful story with every bite.Our sweet spot? Curated chocolate tasting experiences that spark joy, connection, and a little bit of chocolate-induced bliss. Whether it’s for client engagement, executive briefings, or team celebrations, our tastings are built to delight. With over 1, 200 virtual and in-person events for companies like Google, Amazon, and BCG, we know how to blend indulgence with impact.Want to take it up a notch? We offer irresistible pairings like craft whisky, single-origin coffee, premium teas, and wine. Every experience is guided by professionally trained educators and sommeliers who bring flavor, fun, and rich storytelling to the table.Let’s create a chocolate experience your guests won’t stop talking about—delicious, ethical, and unforgettable.Deliciously Yours, Anya Zelfond, FounderGourmet Boutique | Virtual, Hybrid & In-Person Chocolate + Pairing Experiences
