Wine and Chocolate Festival
Yum! Wine and chocolate are celebrated together at a festival February 3 through 5, 2012, in the Coastline Event Center, 501 Nutt Street, Wilmington, North Carolina.
Connoisseurs can sip, nibble and sigh as they sample delectable delights from 60 regional wineries, chocolatiers and artisans.
A Friday night Grand Tasting gala from 7 to 10 p.m. kicks off the event. On Saturday (11 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sunday (noon to 6 p.m.), the wine and chocolate showcase features fine vintners, chocolatiers and artists in a casual atmosphere. Products will be available for sampling and for sale. Demonstrations by food and drink experts will educate as roaming musicians entertain in a marketplace setting.
Festival proceeds benefit the New Hanover County Senior Center’s programs.
Showcase admission is $15 at the door (tickets good for one-day admission). Grand Tasting tickets are $45 at the door (if the event isn’t already sold out).
