The decadent and delicious Wine & Chocolate Festival, an annual fundraising event for the Lake Family Resource Center, is held at Mt. Konocti Growers, where ultra-premium Lake County wines are offered for tasting and sale.

Everything from pear champagne to award-winning Syrah and Port will be masterfully paired with luscious chocolates and local gourmet food offerings by a Certified Sommelier. Event-goers have the opportunity to stroll through the winery themed venue while tasting wines from more than 30 area wineries, nibble on delicious chocolates, taste locally produced olive oils, bid on items in the silent auction, and purchase wines at the event.

An antique car show will provide auto enthusiasts and admirers an opportunity to see vintage cars and trucks up close while enjoying the event, weather permitting. Proceeds from the Wine & Chocolate Festival benefit the programs and services of the Lake Family Resource Center.
