Tip # 1:

Socola Chocolates are the creative work of two sisters, Susan and Wendy, who are graduates of Santa Rosa's Maria Carillo High School.  Starting off with truffle sales at the Santa Rosa's Farmer's Markets, these girls are now one of the hottest chocolatier boutiques.  Even Chef Morimoto has given these handmade, locally sourced, uniquely flavored chocolates a thumbs up!
