You must be

here because you

adore chocolate.

Our story begins with a passion and love for chocolate that has spanned many years of learning, growing and introducing Canada to the best there is - authentic quality products that includes family businesses and small producers from close to home, and all over our wonderful and varied chocolate globe.

A big thank you to our sponsors for supporting us in our first year of CHOCOLATO. Please consider patronizing these businesses who in turn help all the small enterprises involved.

Gustologia is defined as a taste, a flavour, and energy and an enthusiasm. We are focused on enjoyment that is experienced through all the senses. Alongside the finest chocolate products, spreads, nuts and seasonal items, we search out what will become the classic, the favourite and the much loved by our customers.

Chocolate lovers

come together in a unique space.

An 18,000 square foot warehouse full of chocolate and related products sounds a bit like a Willy Wonka type atmosphere, and that sounds amazing to us! This large space will allow participants the room to walk around, to relax, to participate in on one of the workshops or seminars, or to try a delicious beverage that will rotate with various makers at our Drinking Chocolate Bar.

As a bonus in case a gaggle of chocolate lovers arrive by car, parking is FREE! However, we also encourage everyone to be green, avoid traffic, and take GO transit which stops close by at the Long Branch station. Directions are below.
