Food from the Heart

Friday, February 10, 2012 - 5:00pm - 8:00pm

A romantic mood will envelop the 1898 Ferry Building Marketplace on Valentine's weekend. Providing a rare opportunity to experience the magic and beauty of the waterfront at night, the eighth annual "Food from the Heart" will kick off on Friday night in the candlelit Grand Nave. Merchants and restaurateurs at the Marketplace will offer chocolate tastings and seasonal hors d'oeuvres, and local Napa Valley Vintners will pour wine. There will also be tango dancing and classical music. Marketplace shops will all be open from 5 to 8 pm for Valentine's shopping. 

The event is free with nominal charges for food and wine samples. Proceeds from purchases of wine and hors d'oeuvres will benefit Slow Food San Francisco's programs such as the School Garden Projects. For details, visit the Slow Food San Francisco website.

On Saturday, February 11, the romantic revelry will continue with music in the Marketplace, chef demos, and special offerings from merchants.
