Cocoa & afternoon tea

01/10/2018

On 28 September Porsche Centre Leicester hosted 20 guests for an exclusive ladies event, involving a trip to Cocoa Amore in Leicester city centre and a scenic drive to Kilworth House.

Arriving at the Centre from 11.00am, guests were presented with a gift pack including an assortment of Porsche merchandise and directions for the journey ahead.

Guests paired up and were allocated a new car from the Porsche model range, including a 718 Boxster S, 718 Cayman GTS, Macan and new Cayenne. They headed off to the first destination based in the heart of Leicester's Lanes and were treated to VIP parking thanks to the Highcross Shopping Centre.

Upon arrival at Cocoa Amore, guests were taught the origins of cocoa powder, farming procedures and production techniques. The lesson included a series of chocolate sampling and was highly insightful. By the end, guests were able to identify the varying characteristics of chocolates grown in different climates and countries. The group were then tasked with making their very own ganache truffles, using authentic cocoa and 100% natural ingredients, following which mini Porsche chocolates were made using the silicon ice cube trays from the Porsche Driver's Selection range.

The second part of the day was held at Kilworth House, allowing guests to enjoy the 35-minute scenic drive through rural Leicestershire. Greeted with refreshments, the group joined other guests in their renowned orangery where they were served a decadent afternoon tea. 

After spending time to enjoy the beautiful house and surroundings, guests began the journey back to Porsche Centre Leicester to end the fun-filled day.
