Last Saturday we decided to head up to the Winter Park Chocolate Festival for some serious chocolate tasting. The weather was perfect, the views were stunning, and the food was fantastic. We started out with a lovely Shrimp and Bruschetta Salad on the patio at The Cheeky Monk in Winter Park Village.
Cocoa beans from Costa Rica
Ritual Chocolate, a new company based in Boulder, introduces their very pure chocolate at the Winter Park Chocolate Festival.
Competition was fierce at the Hershey Kiss Chocolate Eating Contest.
Julie Pech, the Chocolate Therapist, gives the crowd a chocolate/whiskey tasting lesson. We decided that a fine whiskey tastes best with a dark chocolate covered ginger - great flavor!
After filling up on chocolate, we had to hike it off. After hiking for two miles, we finally spotted our moose, walking across the parking lot next to our car! We finished off our day by stopping at The Peck House in Empire for a lovely dinner before heading home.
