Some friendships start with a hello. Others start with, “You have to try this.”
Join PHX Social Club for an afternoon of sweet discoveries, spicy favorites and good company at the **Chiles & Chocolate Festival**.
**First, appetizers and introductions at Gertrude’s.**
We’ll begin with shared appetizers and relaxed conversation, giving everyone time to get acquainted before exploring the festival together.
**Then, savor the sweet and feel the heat.**
The vendor market brings together local makers offering everything from Southwest chocolate and local honey to tamales, mole, fresh sourdough and spicy sauces. Browse, sample what vendors offer and discover a few new favorites with your fellow members.
**Our afternoon has a delicious little mission: Sweet, Heat & Surprise.**
Look for your favorite sweet treat, something with a little heat and one unexpected discovery. We’ll compare favorites along the way—and see who finds something the rest of us simply have to try.
You choose your own spice level. No bravery required.
With just **12 guests**, there’s time to share recommendations, enjoy the festival and make connections that last beyond the afternoon.
**Your $39 ticket includes Garden admission and shared appetizers at Gertrude’s.** Drinks, additional food and vendor purchases are extra. Festival samples are subject to vendor availability.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring your appetite—and your curiosity.
**Come meet someone new. Leave with a favorite flavor and a familiar face for the next event.**
