As Valentine’s Day approaches and love is in the air, there’s one place in Greenville that guarantees hero status—LaRue Fine Chocolate. Recently voted the #1 Chocolate Shop in America by USA Today>, this local gem is earning national recognition while continuing to serve up handcrafted excellence right here in the Upstate.

Owner and Master Chocolatier Elizabeth has been perfecting her craft since 2012, turning a hobby into a full-fledged business in 2015. Her dedication to small-batch, beautifully crafted chocolate is evident in every piece. Each bonbon is designed to look like a miniature work of art—almost too pretty to eat. Almost.

But as stunning as they look, it’s the flavor that truly sets them apart. Elizabeth describes her chocolates as an experience that unfolds like a fine glass of wine—layered, thoughtful, and memorable from first bite to finish.

Valentine’s Day Made Easy

If you’re scrambling for the perfect Valentine’s gift, LaRue Fine Chocolate makes it simple. From elegant wine-and-chocolate boxes to curated gift packages featuring flowers, wine, and artisan sweets, the shop offers elevated options for every romantic gesture.

They’ve even partnered with local favorite Naked Pasta to create a take-home date night experience—complete with lasagna, salad, local bread, wine, and, of course, chocolate. It’s everything you need for a cozy evening without the stress.

More Than Just Chocolate

LaRue Fine Chocolate isn’t just a shop , it’s a destination. Since opening the expanded space in 2020, Elizabeth envisioned something more than a storefront. The cozy Village location now offers:
