Chocolate and Red Wine at Olympic Peninsula Wineries

January 29th, 2010

If you like chocolate and wine, you will love two upcoming events. Six Olympic Peninsula Wineries are joining together for two weekends of Wine and Chocolate on February 5-6 and 13-15, 2010.

You may purchase an event ticket and taste at all six wineries for $25 (and receive a wine glass) or visit individual wineries for $5. Each winery will add their own flair to pairing wine and chocolates. Some add spice, some make it fruity, and some infuse their wine into chocolate. It all sounds good to me.

You are sure to find at least one combination that transports you to another world.

Make a weekend of it. Travel between Port Angeles and Port Townsend, stopping in Sequim for a little sun on the way. You may want to hike down to the Dungeness Spit or stroll the beaches at Fort Worden in between tastings. There is no hurry. The weekend is yours.

Sequim Bay

If it is possible to visit Sequim Bay in the coming months, do so. Take a walk along the western edge of the bay on the Olympic Discovery Trail. Bring or rent a kayak, and get out on the water at dawn. Sail or motor to the John Wayne Marina for a weekend.

Breathe deeply. Relax.
