A debut festival celebrating Craft Chocolate will bring together bean-to-bar makers, chocolatiers, pastry chefs, and cacao bean growers from over 20 countries to the iconic Palace of Fine Arts for the first annual Craft Chocolate Experience: San Francisco, from March 6-8, 2020. The weekend event will feature a marketplace with more than 70 artisans and workshops featuring the leading voices in craft chocolate.
This new festival is co-founded by Emily Mantooth and Sander Wolf who just last year celebrated the 10th annual edition of the Dallas Chocolate Festival, and Dandelion Chocolate's Chief Sourcing Officer Greg D'Alesandre. The team selected San Francisco because of its long history of chocolate. Early and iconic chocolate pioneers include Ghirardelli which started in the city in 1849, Guittard Chocolate in 1868, and the birth of the craft chocolate movement by Scharffen Berger beginning in 1996.
Founder D'Alesandre adds, "We look forward to the scent of chocolate wafting across the Bay from The Craft Chocolate Experience. This is appropriate given that San Francisco has been the 'Chocolate City,' pioneering tasty products from cacao for over a century. The Experience will be a nexus for the enjoyment of tasting, learning and making of craft chocolate."
