The NW Chocolate Festival
The @nwchocolate will take place Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th 9am to 5pm at Seattle
I have been going to the NW chocolate festival since 2013 or 2014, this year will be our 2nd time as exhibitor and we are so excited.
If you are planning to attend, here are some tips to get the best out of your experience- Take your time and plan to go early, if you are planning one day only I suggest get the early access ticket - there are LOTS of SAMPLES, and a lot of good vendors (the best in chocolate) mostly bean to bar craft chocolate makers and some chocolatiers with Bonbons, except to eat a lot of chocolate, as you can sample/ try before you buy.
It’s a good place to talk and ask questions to the vendors and to learn more about their story and their chocolate-
One thing to consider as well - not a lot of people realize this - The ticket, will come with access to workshops and there are lot of AMAZING ones, if you are planning to attend any workshops, I suggest you see the schedule before and select which ones you want to do and plan your day around them-
Bring some salty snacks or plan to stop to have lunch then continue- Bring a water bottle that can be refilled- Take a break when tired (maybe attend a workshop and then go back )- Make sure to take business card/ information from business that interests you or better subscribe to their newsletter and follow them on social media ( there is no way you can remember after the festival)- I usually Buy my yearly supply for chocolate bars and some chocolate bonbons to consume sooner but bars can store for more than a year- It’s better to use the exhibit map and make sure to cover all the floor so better to walk in a system rather than a random, leaving some vendors that might be good Very good festival, one of the best in the world of chocolate and we are so lucky it’s right here in our region.
