Punta Gorda Chocolate and WinePatti Haley-Herndon walked away from a successful career of 17 years in banking and finance to follow her dream of operating a shoppe that would merge her twin passions of wine and chocolate, highlighted by her ascension as a sommelier from the Guild of Sommeliers and her notable talent for crafting artisan chocolates developed during her 15 years in the restaurant industry.  A graduate of Ecole Chocolat she continues to find new and exciting ways to showcase flavor and art. 

Patti tirelessly donates her time to an array of philanthropic ventures such as Habitat for Humanity and animal sanctuaries CROW and Octagon. Patti’s father was a World War II Veteran and she has spent hours aiding veterans with Medicare, financial planning, and retirement planning. Further interests include a love for aviation (over 120 hours in a single-engine Piper Warrior), scuba, photography, and of course, her husband, Stephan.

Haley Handcrafted Chocolates, llc was established in 2015, with Punta Gorda Chocolate & Wine, Inc in 2016.  In 2018 we expanded to Punta Gorda Coffee & Tea, inc to bring the Downtown Experience full circle.
