The Secret Chocolatier will be bringing a taste of fall to its next dessert dinner series – “An Evening of Chocolate: Autumn Comforts.” The events will take place at 8:00PM on the following Saturdays: Sept. 27, Oct. 11, Oct. 25 and Nov. 8.

Guests will be treated to three chocolate-inspired dessert courses incorporating apples, spices and other fresh, local seasonal ingredients. Chef Bill Dietz – the store’s chief chocolatier and a 30-plus-year pastry chef – will prepare and plate each course onsite at The Secret Chocolatier’s Ballantyne location – 11318 N. Community House Road. Seating is limited for the event. Tickets are $50 for a table of two and are by reservation only by calling 704-323-8178, ext. 0.

“We look forward to kicking off autumn with a new dessert menu and to treating our attendees to more wonderful creations,” said Robin Ciordia, co-owner of The Secret Chocolatier.
