Chocolatouring in California
I recently had the pleasure of attending the Grand Opening of the new premises of Constance Popp Chocolatier of Winnipeg who is now located at 180 Provencher. A great time was had by all, but let me tell you … I won’t be taking these cute chocolate pumps with me to California this week!
These chocolate shoes from Constance Popp Chocolatier don’t quite took comfortable enough to wear to California.
I’ll be putting on a lot of miles, all in the sake of chocolate. We’ll be starting in Oakland, California, where we’ll attend the Eat Well Fest and meet some of the local chocolatiers.
We’re then off to San Francisco to meet with Dandelion and Tcho Chocolate, two of the finest in the Bay Area. Each received an award in Chocolatour for their excellence in chocolate bar making.
Then it’s off to wine country, where Susan Cooper has arranged some chocolate and wine pairing events for us.
And we’ll finish the Chocolatour to California with a visit to the Los Angeles International Chocolate Show in Pasadena On October 6th.
Stay tuned for details!
It feels so good to read about such interesting trips and I hope the Chocolate Show was amazing. Keep sharing more of these happenings. Appreciate it.
Thanks, Marytlou. I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog.
Well, I wouldn’t rave about the LA Chocolate Show. It was small in comparison to other chocolate shows I’ve attended. But there was enthusiasm in the room, and some great chocolate. Stay tuned for more about that. 🙂
What a hectic and exciting schedule you have there. Enjoy and keep sharing all those sumptuous pictures for us chocolate lovers!
Thank you so much, Arianne. It may make you happy to know that we have a Chocolatour to Switzerland scheduled for March 29-April 8, 2014. We ‘ll be attending the Chocolate Salon in Zurich.
Thanks for your comment, Sherryl.
I’m glad we’ve got the comment feature fixed on the blog.
And yes, the trip s going well. We’re now on the train enroute to Pasadena for the International Chocolate Show. Looking forward to it!
Those chocolate pumps are too cute to eat Doreen! I hope you’re enjoying your trip to San Francisco. I’m sure we’re all looking forward to hearing about your adventures.
