Cool. I will stop eating now to get ready.
SanFrancisco or the chocolate festival?I went to one in the heart of San Francisco back in 2015 with friends when still living down in the Capital
and it was a major disappointment.
I was mistaken. The festival I attended was in 2014, not 2015.SanFrancisco or the chocolate festival?
I assume "tasting events" mean free chocolate, and the same chocolate can be purchased any time from the producers?The one in SFM is more for local producers to show off some products and a few of the bigger players to have some booths and some giveaways. This one is more focused on the fine chocolate sector which is developing. This will be much different and involve workshops and tasting events.
Usually free samples are made available at the individual booths. A tasting event may require a fee but I do not know how they are organizing the event. I'm basing this on going to many chocolate events over the last decade. This is being sponsored in part by a US agency and may not require a fee.I assume "tasting events" mean free chocolate, and the same chocolate can be purchased any time from the producers?
That was a cacao festival rather than a chocolate festival. A little bit of a difference.I was mistaken. The festival I attended was in 2014, not 2015.
Either way, huge disappointment.
