On our recent trip down to Napa, we decided to walk around main street down in St. Helena. Woodhouse Chocolate stood out to us, admittedly because they were advertising $4 hot chocolate in their window! It's quite cute inside and the truffles look pretty. They're pretty pricey at $3.25 a pop, we ordered three + the hot chocolate to try. We tried: espresso, coffee toffee, and classic dark truffle. To be honest, the truffles were good, but nothing extraordinary I would go out of my way for. See's candy still takes the cake on consistency and pricing in that regard. However, they are very aesthetic and still tastes good. The presentation is great for gifting, probably. Out of the three, I really like the toffee crunch, but the coffee isn't as prevalent in that one. Now, the hot chocolate was fantastic - rich, dark chocolate flavor - not too sweet and very creamy. Definitely a must-try if you're more of a dark chocolate lover. Overall, we would definitely come back for the hot chocolate again. As for the truffles, I would consider gifting them, but probably wouldn't buy to eat myself as they're pricey for the taste and size.
Charming and feels like walking on to a Bridgerton Show set but instead ... a indulgent chocolate shop. Lovely way to spoil oneself once in awhile or purchase a present for a chocolate lover. Love their chocolates! The store has been open since 2004. Love it.
This was the first time I visited this shop. My wife was excited when we passed it on the way to another shop and she asked me to make sure that we go here because she wanted to pick up some chocolates. I'm very happy that we did because everything about this place, including the chocolates, were amazing. My wife asked for the best recommendations and the lady working that day was so kind to give us the best of what she believe they had. We had the chocolates on the way home because we had to get home and each bite of each chocolate was not only fragrant but very tasty. When you walk inside, you're met with a wonderful contrast of the Earth tone colored chocolates placed against the nice bright paint and the natural light that comes in. I absolutely loved this place and my only regret is that we did not have more money to buy more we will definitely be visiting this place again whenever we pass through the Napa Valley.
This is a third generation family chocolate business. One of the truffles was even made by the owners young daughter if in the area, this is a fun place to stop. He had a chocolate and picked up several truffles for later. The staff is very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
Cute chocolate shop in St. Helena. While the bonbons are not elaborately decorated, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of dark chocolate options on offer. I particularly enjoyed the heart of darkness bonbon and my husband liked the hazelnut gianduja.
If you are a Chocolate Lover, this is a Must stop. Beautiful Chocolate Confections. A bit pricey but worth every dollar when you bite into them.! My wife and I order the 12 piece round box for $39. When we are home, sipping a glass of red wine , we treat ourselves to half a bite each and savior the flavors as they intermingle with our reds. It's always a TBO.... Taste Bud Orga-sm!!!! It's a must try stop in a quaint little town that has great restaurants as well..,
This little chocolate shop was recommended. It is really good. However, we arrived hoping for a sample.... As most of the shops in this quaint little town of St Helena offered many samples of their unique olive oils, cheeses and balsamics. We were hoping to try just a little of the dark chocolate hot chocolate ... they were more then adamant about not letting us try anything in this shop... I broke down and bought the hot chocolate tin for Christmas. The girl behind the counter said, as I finished paying. " ok you are good to go bye!" We were so put off by this behavior. Good thing the rest of the town was warm and welcoming
We always stop by what house every single time we're even close to the area even if it's a little out-of-the-way. Yesterday it was super hot but I still wanted to go and see what new items they had and pick up our staples of their toffee and barks. Their unicorn bark and Galaxy bark are so fun and we always got the brown butter ganache chocolate which is so delicious. Super glad to see that they provide coolers with ice to combat the heat!
You won't be able to resist getting SOMETHING here. If you go, let me know how is their hot chocolate. It looked delicious.
We found this place after watching an episode of "The best thing I ever ate". Don't know how I missed this place we are Napa locals and I've been through St. Helena hundreds of times! The rumors are true.. these chocolates are fantastic! Also very impressed with the young lady behind the counter she explained all the flavors perfectly. This is a must visit place if your in Napa/St. Helena.
This is a very sophisticated chocolatier establishment.. but everyone can enjoy and appreciate the quality and taste. Located on main street in Saint Helena, you'll likely get lucky finding street parking here. Theres also a small parking lot in the rear. Whatever the case, its very worth the trouble, if any to find parking to experience this place. Inside looks like a boutique, with chocolates hidden behind glass where the well dressed employee gathers your selections for special packaging. Fairly priced, especially for what you get. We tried 6 different types and each one blew us away. Rich, creamy yet subtle.. the chocolates are very soft to where you may need to place them in a cooler or dry cool place in order for them to survive the drive home during the summer. Amazing service and overall experience. We come to town once a month from 100 miles away for wine. It looks like we have another mandatory stop added in now. read more
Such an elegant chocolate shop, and always worth a stop when I'm in Saint Helena. The chocolates are picture perfect and delicious. Friendly service. Today we loved the pistachio and hazelnut in particular. I should have bought more, but they would have melted in the summer heat of our car. Next time! read more
I read that Woodhouse Chocolate and Kollar Chocolates in Napa Valley have the best chocolate in California. I wanted to try both places but don't plan to visit the area in the near future, so I ordered from their online stores. From Woodhouse Chocolate, I ordered two dark chocolate almond bars and one dark chocolate hazelnut bar. The online ordering process was quick and easy. The chocolate bars arrived several days later packed in ice and bubble wrap inside a styrofoam cooler. So thoughtful and nice. The bars were large and tasted delicious. The almond bars had a touch of bitterness, as expected from dark chocolate, and could have used a few more almonds in it. The hazelnut bar had no bitterness and plenty of nuts. It was perfection. I agree they have some of the best chocolate in California. I've already placed a second order for more. read more

Woodhouse represents high-quality chocolate and is one of only a handful of chocolatiers that I regularly order from across the U.S. As is the case with most high-end chocolatiers, each piece averages $2.00 - $3.00 per. In some cases, it is absolutely worth it, while in others it is absolutely not. Woodhouse falls into the former category. Woodhouse is perhaps my second favorite maker (after Norman Love Confections in Florida). I have never had a bad piece of chocolate from them. I found every single one to be made of high quality, luxurious, and rich ingredients. These people know what they're doing; it is clearly their passion as well as their profession. While they don't make the most cutting edge and innovative flavor combinations, everything they make is superb. If your idea of chocolate is limited to the M&M Mars and Hershey's conglomerate crap made by the billions every year, you're in for something special here. Be forewarned, however, that once you try this high level of quality, it's hard to revert back to Snickers, Milky Way, Kit Kat, and the like. read more

This place is a high end charming chocolate shop. Comes off a bit pretentious, but simplistically refined. I tried the honey and the walnut individual chocolates just for a taste test and then I bought a four pack of pecan turtles for $14. Service is fast and they know their chocolate details. I would say it's a bit expensive for what the quality is but in this area most people are willing to pay. They do not have a sit down tables inside or out and there's no free Wi-Fi as it's mainly a chocolate gift shop. If you're in the area it's something that you could possibly try. I could take it or leave it. read more
This is one of my favorite places to get chocolates. I come here when I want to treat myself to some excellent tasting chocolates. I love the flavors they have. The store is clean and employees are always friendly. So glad this store survived the pandemic. read more
Not only does St. Helena's downtown Main Street evoke a heap of nostalgia, a smack of hippie, a wallop of frou-frou and your above average vintage clothing or jewelry store alongside an average burrito place...it houses Woodhouse Chocolate! 5 stars for being here for so very long with your high quality, delicious and every changing flavors, for making every special box of chocolates that I handpick look perfect. It makes you feel a bit less guilty for enjoying these decadent treats. They change so frequently with the special flavors that I find it hard to nail one favorite down. I do love their white chocolate and lime and am partial to their gianduja as well. I bought a mixed box of everything I like and some new flavors and took photos of the gorgeous handmade Christmas style chocolates. Enjoy! If you are visiting this is a great place to stop in and get a high-end box of chocolates as a gift or just for yourself. read more

We made a trip to wine country and of course we stopped in for a box of candy for us. I love the nut creams, hubby the fruit flavors. We also picked up Halloween candy for the granddaughters...Adorable Chocolate Cats. Quality before quantity always. Our candy is gone, they will receive theirs on All Hallows' Eve. read more

It is a treat just to window shopping or spending10 minutes in the shop browsing the handmade artisan chocolate jewels in different shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors. The store is well decorated and have two huge ornate tapestries hanging on the walls. Once the in shop, you are surrounded by the sweet scent of chocolate. We had dark raspberry and classic dark truffle in the store while took Winter bark and 6-pc Milk chocolate English toffee home. My daughter really enjoyed the jewel like truffles but thought the dark raspberry is a bit on the sweeter side. The classic dark truffle's truly outstanding. We both thoroughly enjoyed the milk chocolate English toffee. It is crunchy, not overly sweet, and has a hint of browned sugary scent which adds to the depth of the flavor. The picture does not do justice to the winter bark, which shimmers and sparkles under the light. A couple in Sonoma asked us about the store when they saw us holding the bag. They sent clients gift boxes each year but never got a chance to visit the store in person. It's a memorable gift box for the receivers for sure. read more
Woodhouse Chocolate is one of those fancy chocolate places that have artisan chocolate with high prices. I normally would not be in a chocolate store like this, however I had received a gift of a 4 piece chocolate box (Gooey Caramel Nut Clusters, $14 prior to tax) earlier this year. Each piece of this chocolate treat was delicious. Each bite was filled with caramel and nuts. There is just a little bit of salt on top to better enhance that chocolate and give that salty/ sweet feel. Ever since then, I decided that I would visit the Woodhouse Chocolate store in person on my next visit to Saint Helena (V. Sattui Winery is my FAVORITE winery in the Napa Valley and only come up to this part of California just for their amazing wine). Woodhouse Chocolate is located in downtown Saint Helena. When I arrived (on a Saturday), I was greeted by the employee behind the counter. Sadly this place does not provide any samples. On this particular day, Woodhouse Chocolate was giving 15% discount on all purchases due to their special sidewalk sale (only takes place about twice a year... the 1st weekend in May and in October). After browsing the small shop, I ended up purchasing: Gooey Caramel Nut Clusters, $14 prior to tax- So pricey for only 4 pieces of chocolate, but the pieces are somewhat big and I feel are truly worth the splurge once in a while. Sprinkle Bar, $8 prior to tax- I love white chocolate and also birthday flavored chocolate. This sprinkle bar married those 2 loves in 1 for me. I thought the bar was just perfect. If you like sprinkles and white chocolate, you will like this. ---------------------------- (Total= $18.70 after tax and 15% discount) Service was minimum but friendly. Granted the prices are pretty high, but considering that this is in Napa valley in a tourist area, you can see how the prices would be such. I honestly wish these prices were just a little lower, but I don't mind making a splurge every once in a while because I really like these chocolates, especially the caramel nut clusters. read more
Whenever there is a chocolate shop nearby, I must try. Chocolate shops are a weakness of mine. Although I was unfamiliar with Woodhouse Chocolate, I decided to buy some for gifts and a couple to try. Unfortunately, there are no samples, but there is a wide selection of flavors to choose from. After eating the chocolates, they're definitely good, but not enough for me to return here. Pricing is what you'd expect for a nice chocolate shop. Undoubtedly, the recipients of my gifts will enjoy this product. read more

If everyone took chocolate as seriously as Woodhouse, there would never have been a market for Hershey's. My bff &; I stopped by here when we were trying to get hungry for our ad hoc dinner reservation. We were trying not to eat anymore, but we were lured in by the intense window display. I had never seen chocolate taken so seriously and playfully at the same time. It was around Thanksgiving and the display showed 2 teams of turkeys playing football. If that didn't sound intense enough. They were adorned in different chocolate painted uniforms. There was a ref with a mini whistle on a woodhouse chocolate ribbon, turkey fans sitting in chocolate bleachers with flags, an advertising blimp suspended in the "sky," and even a turkey getting tackled on the field. It was intense and all made of chocolate. It was incredible. The pics don't even do it justice! Some chocolatier really went to town. Not sure if they do it every season and for their sake, I really hope the sun doesn't come out! read more
I agree with Conny M's review. It's the "Tiffany of chocolate." The chocolate is pretty and Expensive! The lady that helped me used tongs and put them on a dish. I don't remember if I got a box or not. I ate the chocolates very fast so I must have liked them, but 5 tiny pieces for $7.50 is too much for my cheap ass. read more
Who doesn't love CHOCOLATE? Any time we come back to Saint Helena, We like to stop in at Woodhouse for a little taste of heaven. You can purchase by the piece here, and customize your own set. There are also seasonal collections, and I even saw a set containing exotic salts, chocolate cherubs, and chocolate pumps. We haven'had any lunch yet, but I just had to get a little taste, so I got a piece of my favorite, the Brown Butter Ganache which was encased in a white chocolate fleur de lys. At $2 a pop, this was enough to satisfy my tastebuds, and we took a stroll down to Giugni's for lunch. Stop in if you're in the area, you'll be glad you did!...ALOHA!!!

What a great way to take Napa Valley home. Cute and well designed chocolate shop sure for my attention. Got a couple of pieces to try at home and couldn't resist the milk chocolate with potato chips. Friendly staff and offered to pack my chocolates in ice pack since it was pretty hot out. read more
