Vine to Bar makes uniquely infused chocolate bars that celebrates a classic pairing and at the same time, makes the most of a by-product of the winemaking process. The brand's dark chocolate is made with chardonnay marc, a nutrient-rich and naturally sweet coproduct of grape juice production for Chardonnay winemaking. Chardonnay marc consists of of grape skins, seeds and stems, and these chocolate bars help to give new life to the leftover and healthy food ingredients.
All of Vine to Bar's chocolate bar products contain chardonnay marc, and available varieties include Tart Cherry & Cocoa Nibs and Almonds with Pink Himalayan Salt. These chocolates are ideal for assembling chocolate charcuterie boards, or "chocuterie" boards, as the brand calls them.
