Bell Harbor International Conference Center

A veritable Elysian Field for chocoholics and sweets seekers, the Seattle Luxury Chocolate Salon gathers artisan chocolate manufacturers and their fans for a series of tastings, panels and demonstrations that expand the mind and dazzle the palate. Cocoa-bean devotees may wander the floor sampling bite-size brilliance from any of the premium chocolatiers on hand, who in past years have included See’s Candies, Sweet Decadence, George Paul Chocolates, and rogue Easter Bunnies. After sating their appetites with decadent morsels, dessert devotees may take in book signings, demonstrations, presentations, and forums such as the Chocolate Meet-Up Mash, where fans may fawn over favorite treats and thumb-war over preferred chocolate types.
