Chocolate Lovers, mark your calendars! The 2018 Annual Fall Chocolate Salon returns to San Francisco on November 18 in a central SF venue!
This year’s event takes place in Golden Gate Park, in the San Francisco County Fair Building Auditorium!
Says a Chocolate Salon spokesperson about the venue, “Part of what we try to do with the San Francisco Salons is give visitors and exhibitors the opportunity to experience different parts of the City. This year’s Fall venue is in Golden Gate Park next to the Arboretum, as well as close to the De Young Museum and the Academy of Sciences, plus it’s also close to the great restaurants on 9th Avenue. We also like that at 4,000+ square feet it is approximately the same size as all of the past Fall Salon venues, including at Fort Mason.”
The Fall Salon features a curated selection of chocolate, culinary and other artisans and innovators, including Amano Artisan Chocolate, K+M Extravirgin Chocolate, Z. Cioccolato, Kindred Cooks Caramels, Raphio...
