I just received this announcement from the Theo's Chocolate newsletter (Seattle's own botique chocolates). If you're interested, contact them (e-mail below):

David lebovitz, in his blog, speaks very highly of Theo.

Hey, you KNOW I would, except my city isn't listed.

I know the folks over at Theo's and had more "informal" tours...but

those I know who have been on the official tour, really enjoyed it. One friend said they sampled so much chocolate, he asked for a to go bag! For $5, that tour is a bargain.

Hey Ang...David Lebovitz is going to be at Theo's June 30th.

If your city is not on the list, I'd shoot them an e-mail and tell them

you'd be willing to work for chocolate. You never know...

Hey Traca, have you tried Fiori chocolates? They're also in Seattle. Their Sera 65% is fantastic.

Fiori Chocolate makes me SWOON! I took a chocolate tasting class

with Lee before he got so busy. I learned more out of that one class than I had any other source. Fiori chocolates are amazing....

Another one to keep your eye out for is Bakery Nouveau's chocolates. YUM. The guy who makes those was the captain for the US team that WON the World Baking Championship. He opened a shop in West Seattle and is doing bread, pastries, and chocolate. And surprisingly, he's doing a great job with all of them. His chocolates are excellent. (And his twice baked almond croissant is the best thing I've EVER put in my mouth!)
