(By the way, First Lady Michelle Obama loves the gray salt caramels.) Fran's Chocolates is a family-owned Seattle-based company celebrating more than 30 years of creating artisan chocolates. In 2014, headquarters moved from Capitol Hill to a landmark building in Georgetown. Dramatic, industrial and modern—with much of the old building retained—the new space is five times the size and perfect for growth. There is even a room for tasting and chocolate education. Our private 45-minute talk-and-taste tour begins in the viewing room. We'll learn the history of Fran Bigelow and her chocolate company, learn how the confections are made, and watch truffles being hand-dipped. Finally, we'll sit at the tasting table and enjoy three or four of Fran's most delectable creations. Attendees receive a 10 percent same-day discount for purchases from the Georgetown retail store. An optional lunch at Fonda La Catrina across the street follows the tour. Meet there.
