About the Chocolate & Wine Festival
The concept of a community chocolate festival began with a dream shared between the creative and motivated individuals in
Montrose to offer a new weekend event. During 2007, several Susquehanna County wineries began to present chocolate truffles
flavored by their best wines. This classic pairing of chocolate and wine encouraged the inclusion of wine in the festival.
Now, with the dedicated assistance of community members, the 4th Annual Montrose Chocolate and Wine Festival is on the calendar
for May 19, 2012!
Festival guests will have the unique experience of tasting chocolate and wine,
patronizing vendors and local businesses, participating in a chocolate dessert recipe contest,
and so much more!
We are currently looking for area businesses and individuals to help sponsor the Annual Montrose
Chocolate and Wine Festival. Donations and sponsorship provided by community members,
will assist the committee with planning events such as movies, live music, and live
chocolate demonstrations, as well as securing advertising, production of festival t-shirts, and
production of complimentary festival wine glasses. Proceeds from the ticket sales, as well
as donations, will be presented to Montrose’s local library and hospital construction
projects. In order to achieve these goals and exceed expectations, we are requesting your
support.
Sincerely,
The Montrose Chocolate and Wine Festival Committee
