FOR THE LOVE OF CHOCOLATE
Escondido Chocolate Festival

HOW IT WORKS:
Each attendee purchases a Passport Ticket which includes:
1.) Tasting Glass
2.) Swag Bag filled with goodies, coupons and information from participating Grand Avenue Businesses
3.) Passport Map indicating each Tasting Location

Attendees obtain their Passport from Will Call located on Maple Street Plaza and then stroll, at their leisure, to each of the 20+ tasting locations to sample chocolate or a chocolate dish paired with either wine, beer, champagne, spirit or a non-alcoholic drink.  Attendees must drink any alcoholic beverages prior to leaving each location which allows them to meander through and get familiar with each business while enjoying their chocolate adventure!
