Fairchild Chocolate Festival: The Cocoa Celebration

Fairchild Chocolate Festival: The Cocoa Celebration

 Every year, in the heart of the magnificent Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami, chocolate lovers gather for a special event: the Fairchild Chocolate Festival. A perfect blend of natural beauty and sweet indulgence, this festival is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth.

A Historic Festival :


 The Fairchild Chocolate Festival takes its name from its host location: the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. This botanical garden is named after David Fairchild, an American botanist from the early 20th century. He traveled the world to bring back and introduce countless previously unknown plant varieties to the U.S., such as cotton, dates, and nectarines.

The festival was created to celebrate this legacy and to highlight the importance of cacao in the natural world, both economically and culturally. It also helps connect consumers directly with chocolatiers.

An Event for All Chocolate Enthusiasts :


 For an entire weekend, Fairchild Garden transforms into a chocolate paradise. On the agenda:

  • Chocolate tastings

  • Meet-and-greets with local chocolatiers

  • Workshops and demonstrations

  • Entertainment and garden tours

But this festival is also a chance to learn more about the origins of cacao, the challenges it faces, and the importance of fairer and more sustainable trade practices.

Exquisito Chocolate, Proud Festival Participant :
 Among the exhibitors is Exquisito Chocolate, an artisanal chocolate maker based in Miami. The team takes part in the festival every year to share their passion for cacao, their ideas, and their unique creations.

The Exquisito stand attracts chocolate lovers eager to taste our single-origin bars, truffles, vegan chocolates, and limited editions. It’s also a great opportunity for direct interaction, where we explain our work, our choice of beans, and the values we stand for.

An Event Not to Be Missed :


 In addition to exploring the Fairchild gardens, you’ll get to taste exceptional chocolate, so don’t miss out.
 The Fairchild Chocolate Festival is a sensory, cultural, and human experience. A story of passion, heritage, respect, and joy.
 And if you pass by the garden, make sure to stop at the Exquisito stand. Come taste, chat, learn, and rediscover chocolate in a new light.
