Tea Time Adventures attended the 2012 LA Luxury Chocolate Salon and took a few pictures. These photos feature a very small amount of the vendors at the salon. If you're in the Bay Area and interested in attending a Chocolate Salon, there is one coming up in November. You'll see us there!! (but we're sure you'll just want to taste chocolate!)

We've been around the Chocolate Salon block a few times here at Tea Time. It's always great to see old faces, eat new chocolates and celebrate the bean. If you're interested in learning more you can check out TasteTV for links and news from past salons. We hope to see you in November! Tea Time will be around, tasting Chocolate and taking more (better!) photos over at Fort Mason.
