A REFRESHED EVENT
Join us at the table for the 26th annual chocolate and wine extravaganza! Tahoe Chocolate & Wine Festival takes place in the elegant Grand Ballroom at Hyatt Regency – a hotel and casino set amongst the spectacular backdrop of Incline Village on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. The evening begins with a wine walk, where guests will sample and sip boutique wine hand selected from acclaimed California wine regions including Napa, Amador, and Paso Robles. Guests will then be seated as we guide you through a unique and entertaining chocolate tasting experience from six of Lake Tahoe’s finest culinary artists, including The Ritz Carlton, Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe, and Mr. Z’s Homemade Candies.
We are excited to have the passionate support of Wendy Damonte, Evening News Anchor at KTVN Channel 2. She will be the Emcee for the evening and chocolate tasting host.
Special guest speaker, Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto.
Tahoe SAFE Alliance will honor General Masto for her life-long work in advocating for women and children. In her seven years as Attorney General, Masto was successful at strengthening state laws to prevent violence against women and protect kids from sexual predators.
