The Third Annual Chocolate and Wine Festival is scheduled for Feb. 7 at The Market Pavilion in Evans.
“This festival offers the perfect atmosphere for a romantic date night or a fun night out with friends. Attendees will have the opportunity to sip fine wines and snack on decadent treats while enjoying the sounds of live music throughout the night,” according to a news release from Columbia County.
People will have the opportunity for six tastings of red wine, six tastings of white wine, 12 chocolate treats and complimentary Charcuterie Cups at the event scheduled for 6 to 9 p.m.



Also, a variety of local food vendors will be on-site with additional food offerings available for purchase.
Tickets to the 2025 chocolate and wine festival sold out quickly, according to the event listing at the Columbia County website, and organizers expect the same this year.
