Brrrrr! Want to shake off the winter blahs in February? The Winter Wine and Chocolate Walk will be held on February 14, which is on Valentine’s Day and the Saturday of Presidents Day Weekend. It is an event for chocolate lovers and those who like to taste and buy local libations.
Over a dozen wineries, breweries, and distilleries will set up in participating Dushore businesses for this self-paced event. There will also be chocolate and treat vendors.
Businesses will open their doors, welcoming the public to sample and purchase. This is a free event, but in order to taste test DABA will be handing out wristbands along with a complimentary souvenir, map of the spirit vendors, and a DABA brochure.
Have a fantastic family chocolate dessert recipe? Enter the chocolate dessert contest at Pealer Hall! The rules are straightforward; it must be edible, have chocolate, and includes the recipe. Love to eat chocolate desserts? Assorted boxed desserts will be for sale at the end of the day. There will also be a basket raffle.
The Sullivan County Library will host a Chocolate Chip “Taste Test” Challenge. The Challenge is for participants of all ages. Participants will taste different varieties of milk chocolate and take a guess at the brand. The Challenge will run from 12:00-2:00 (or until supplies are depleted!).
