The Dushore Area Business Association (DABA) will host the annual Winter Wine & Chocolate Walk on Saturday, February 14, 2026, from noon to 5:00 p.m. The event features craft beverages and delicious treats at venues throughout downtown Dushore.
Over a dozen wineries, breweries, and distilleries will be at local businesses to offer samples and sell their products. There will also be chocolate and treat vendors around town.
Pealer Hall will hold a basket raffle and the dessert contest. Enter your favorite chocolate dessert for a chance to win, or stop by at the end of the day to purchase an assorted box of desserts.
The Sullivan County Library will host a Chocolate Chip “Taste Test” Challenge for all ages from noon to 2:00 p.m. Participants will taste different varieties of milk chocolate and take a guess at the brand.
The event is free and will be held rain, snow, or shine. If you are interested in tastings, please check in with DABA for a free wristband, a map of the vendors, a brochure, and a complimentary souvenir.
