What’s better than chocolate? Pairing it with wine and whiskey!

Whether you’re looking to plan a girls’ night out or a fun date night for Valentine’s weekend, the Nashville Chocolate, Wine & Whiskey Festival has you covered. Enjoy indulging in decadent chocolate and scrumptious libations. “We’re excited to host the Nashville Chocolate, Wine & Whiskey Festival. In our second year, we plan on having more Tennessee wineries and distilleries and of course, more chocolates in various presentations,” says Charlie Adler, President of TasteUSA Festival Management. “Nashville is such a fun city and we know that people love good food, good drink and overall fun entertainment, and this will be a blast!”

There is plenty of time to leisurely sip and sample your way through all of the festival’s treats. Tasting items include s’mores, cupcakes, cookies, candy, donuts, and more to pair alongside samples of wine, whiskey, cider, craft beer, and non-alcoholic drinks. Specialty drinks also include candy cocktails, lushie slushies, boozy milkshakes, and spiked hot chocolate. The best part is that it’s all included in the ticket price. But if you need to balance the sugar overload, savory foods are available for an additional cost, as well as treats to take home.

“Chocolate, wine, and whiskey – It’s all the great things in life,” says Adler. “From our boozy milkshakes and other fun cocktail samples (yes – included in your ticket) to ooey gooey chocolate fondue, sweets and some really great local wines and whiskies – it’s
an event that just screams ‘Let’s Celebrate.’”
