Chocolate Lovers Unite!

If you have never met a chocolate that you didn’t like, this is your day

Encinitas CA— Don’t miss San Diego Botanic Garden’s annual Chocolate Festival on Saturday, May 13 from 9 am – 4:30 pm. Your taste buds will thank you when savoring the many varieties of goodies created by nearly a dozen chocolate artisans.
The Chocolate Festival is the day before Mother’s Day, so it is the perfect gift for Mom. She can enjoy the day relaxing in our beautiful garden oasis while sampling edibles made from the ground beans of the Theobroma cacao. Demonstrations and tips on creating delicious chocolate treats will also be featured at the Chocolate Festival.
Pick up the perfect Mother’s Day gift from one of our vendors or from the Garden’s Gift Shops – featuring plants, purses, jewelry, and unique garden-themed items every Mom loves! Enjoy music from Martin Espino and award-winning cuisine from Isaac’s Catering.
Don’t miss the Garden’s Kidzone where children can have fun making crafts and gifts for Mom!
Cost: Free with paid admission or membership. Tasting tickets available for a small fee.
