Grab some girlfriends or lasso your love and escape to Enumclaw to swirl, sip, savor and shop at the Enumclaw Wine and Chocolate Festival. Twenty eight wineries, 15 chocolatiers and dozens of gift vendors will all be under one roof at the Enumclaw Expo Center February 1 and 2, 2013. Hours are 4-10 p.m. both days.
Cabernet and Moscato infused cheeses; Alfajores-Argentinian chocolate cookies sandwiching Dulce de leche and covered in chocolate ganache; and award-winning, wood-smoked salmon are among the delectable delights found at the festival. Local eatery, Rendezvous Wine and Brew will be selling small plates.
Attendees can also experience wine and chocolate massage and facial demonstrations, enjoy live music, educate themselves on wine and food pairing, and browse through gift booths. WARM 106.9 will be broadcasting on Friday, February 1 and the Porsche Club of America PNWR will be displaying its collection of automobiles on Saturday.
