Beat Holiday Stress with Some After Work Wine & Chocolate Therapy

Chocolate Therapy (http://www.ctsweetremedies.com), a new kind of chocolate shop, today announced that retail therapy isn’t the only kind of counseling Metro West residents can experience this holiday season. Starting on December 12th, the company will be hosting regular After Work Wine & Chocolate Therapy workshops at their Framingham location.

In addition to the relaxation benefits that everyone needs during the holiday season, wine and chocolate are rich in immune-boosting antioxidants. This 90-minute experience combines education and fun with fine wine and fine chocolate. Attendees will learn everything there is to know about chocolate, how to properly pair it with fine wine for the holiday season and all year long, and will be able to delight in three specially-created pairings that combine Chocolate Therapy artisanal chocolates with red and white wines.

“It’s easy for everyone to get caught up in the stress of the holiday season, which has an impact on both mental and physical health,” said Pam Griffin, owner of Chocolate Therapy. “Our event is designed to offer area residents a delicious respite from the chaos.”
