Come, meet Chocolatier Mindy Fong, and taste her award wining Jade Chocolates for FREE this Sunday, April 12 from 2p-5p at Winery Collective.

Jade Chocolates creates a luxury chocolate experience by blending exotic teas and spices from the Pacific Islands and Asia. Owner/Chocolatier Mindy Fong's inspiration stems from the struggles of her grandfather who came to America at age 20 with the quest of obtaining a better life for himself. During his lifetime, he managed to become a successful businessman, owning several mom and pop stores and restaurants in San Francisco. We invite you to experience our luxury line of chocolates, born from a history of love and perseverance.
