Gearhearts Fine Chocolates Comes to Libbie & Grove

I’m very excited to announce that the Charlottesville-based Gearhearts Fine Chocolates is opening a branch in Richmond, near the corner of Libbie & Grove.  The 750-square-foot shop features a custom-built display counter, crafted by a Virginia cabinet-maker to houses the shop’s fine confections. And Gearhart features local products whenever possible, such as Virginia cream, maple syrup or peaches. Fresh chocolates will be delivered daily from the Charlottesville location, plus some seasonal items will be hand-dipped at the shop. Also look for chocolate workshops in the coming months.   I’m also happy to say that I’m going to get to preview the goodies later this week, so stay tuned for a full report.  Gearhearts features 16 core flavors,  including such exotics as Brown Butter Caramel, Earl Grey, Michigan Cherry, and the cocoa-dusted Maya Truffle. Specialty items also include Pistachio Toffee and Australian Crystallized Ginger.

Gearharts Fine Chocolates will be open Monday-Saturday
