'Chocolate Affair' coming up
If you love chocolate, and who doesn't, downtown Coeur d'Alene is the place for you.
The Chocolate Affair is scheduled from 2 to 6 p.m. Feb. 8. The annual event hosted by the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association offers 20 gourmet and locally made chocolate-inspired treats, paired with a selection of wine as downtown storefronts are turned into pop-up chocolate shops.
"Be able to witness the ultimate chocolate showdown as chocolatiers compete head-to-head in the competition for the Chocolatier Master Award and the Chocolate Connoisseur’s Choice Award," a press release said.
Attendees can vote for the Connoisseur’s Choice Award.
Storefronts like Kandy’s Boutique, CDA Garment District, Mix It Up, Glo Beauty Bar and more will be offering special deals and activities.
Tickets are $25 for general admission, which includes 16 bite-size samples, and $40 for wine pairings with chocolate. Extra wine-tasting tickets are $4.
Last year's event sold out of its roughly 1,000 tickets and this year is close to selling out.
