It’s Time for the Olympic Peninsula Red Wine & Chocolate Festival!
Join us on February 17th at 7 Cedars Casino
This year, the Olympic Peninsula Wineries will be celebrating Red Wine & Chocolate under one roof. Seven wineries and 5 local confectioners will be on site at 7 Cedars Casino providing you with sumptuous pairings.
Festival tickets are $50 and available for sale on-line at: https://square.link/u/VhNAZ9DR until midnight on Friday, Feb. 16th. After that, any remaining tickets may be purchased at the door for $60. Tickets include ten wine samples and ten chocolate samples, plus a commemorative wine glass. There is even an option for a discounted designated driver ticket which includes chocolate samples and access to the festival. This is a 21 and older event.
In between sampling chocolate and wine, spend some time at the photo booth taking selfies, or listening to one of the local Jazz Bands performing on the Red Wine & Chocolate stage. It will be a day of wine, chocolate, music, and stories. Visit all of the wineries’ booths and try something new. All of the wines and chocolate will be available for purchase at the event.
Olympic Cellars will release one of our Lodge Series wines created for Lake Quinault, the Winemaker’s Red Blend. This Cabernet heavy Bordeaux blend is smooth with flavors of woodland berries, dark cherry, and spicy mixed peppercorns. It is fruit-forward with well-integrated tannins. Expect a soft, sumptuous finish with a hint of juicy pomegranate! It pairs beautifully with smooth dark chocolate.
We will also be pouring our My Sweet Syrah – A Sweeter Style Red. Our signature blend of Syrah and Riesling. This wine is a bit lighter than a varietal Syrah, lush and semi-sweet (3.5% residual sugar). A beautiful dessert wine or just for sipping. And it’s dangerous with chocolate. “The sweetness of the wine lingers on your lips like a first kiss”.
We hope to see you at the Festival!
