LAKE COUNTY — More than 20 Lake County wineries will participate in the second annual Wine & Chocolate fundraising event, noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16. The activity will take place in an expanded venue at the same location as last year”s highly successful affair, Mt. Konocti Growers, 2550 Big Valley Road between Lakeport and Kelseyville.

The event will feature Lake County wineries pouring wines that have been masterfully paired with gourmet chocolates by sommelier Stephanie Green. Selected wines from these wineries will also be available for purchase, with the proceeds benefiting the LFRC project.
Special activities presented during the afternoon will include a display of antique cars, a silent auction with wine, dining, travel and art packages, and demonstrations of wine and food pairing and wine sensory evaluation.
