Lucid Chocolatier aims to provide a selection of quality chocolate bars that exceed the standard for artisan chocolates in New Zealand, created with the utmost respect for the heritage of the cocoa, production techniques, and the environment of their beautiful country.

Johnty (one of New Zealand's most successful chocolate makers) recalls the first time he drank Sauternes vividly. In 2019, at the end of one of the best meals of his life at Jano Bistro in Wellington, dessert was served, and with it a curious glass of soft golden-orange coloured wine. The sommelier explained it was a sweet wine from France, with notes of stone fruits, citrus and honey. Perplexed at the concept, Johnty drank. He then smiled in amazement. With a definitive taste of apricot and honey, a new interest had been discovered, and in retrospect, this bar was born.
