Wine & Design with Codex Chocolate
Join us at MODA for Wine & Design—an evening of flavor, design, and discovery. Enjoy a complimentary drink, a guided tour of BITTERSWEET: The Design of Chocolate, and a tasting of small-batch chocolate from Xocolatl.
Then hear from James Navia, founder of Codex Chocolate, a company crafting nutrient-rich chocolate that’s as good for your body as it is for your taste buds. Codex blends ethical dark chocolate with ingredients like protein, fiber, and cocoa flavanols—compounds linked to heart and brain health—offering a smarter way to indulge.
With a background in food tech and supply chain strategy, James brings a fascinating perspective on how thoughtful design can reshape even the most beloved treat.
What to Expect:
- Arrive at 5:30 PM and kick off the evening by enjoying a glass of wine or prosecco in our welcoming Design Shop. Mingle with fellow design and chocolate enthusiasts and let the excitement build!
- At 6:00 PM, embark on a captivating guided tour of the exhibition BITTERSWEET: The Design of Chocolate. Discover the rich cultural narratives shaping chocolate production and appreciate the artistry involved in every step of the process.
- At 6:45 PM, be inspired by James Navia as he shares his family's incredible food technology legacy, beginning in 1960s Cuba. Learn why Codex Chocolate stands out as a better-for-you option, and indulge in an exclusive tasting of unique flavors like Almond Coconut, Hazelnut Chia, and Salted Peanut. Seize the opportunity to take home delightful treats that will satisfy your cravings!
This evening is not just about chocolate; it’s about connecting—building friendships, supporting local businesses, and celebrating the intersection of design and wellness in the chocolate-making process. Join us and become part of a community that appreciates the beauty of mindful design. Let’s make this a night to remember!
