We’ll start at Cafe Caturra at 2 p.m., and pop into Pearl’s Cupcake Shop, Gearhart’s Fine Chocolates, J.
Emerson Wine, Palani Drive, and The Blue Goat for samples and chef/owner chat. Tickets are $39 plus ticketing fee and must be purchased in advance at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/185890. See more info at http://realrichmondva.com/
