Get acquainted with mouthwatering cuisine, delightful wines, decadent hand-made chocolate and desserts-- and enjoy a variety of scheduled culinary demonstrations by some of the town’s leading chefs. The open house format will allow you to start at your leisure during the event hours and stroll at your own pace, allowing time to explore the array of unique boutiques downtown. Many shops will be offering special promotions during the event. Come taste and stroll your way through delightful Downtown Danville!
Details:
Given this event has been designed as an “Open House” format, guests are invited to come at their leisure during the event hours and choose how to use their ticket.
During the day, participating businesses will host various demonstrations and tastings that will repeat at multiple times, so if you missed one, you can always go back later.
Not feeling up to a scheduled structure, the event is also open to guests simply strolling at their leisure between participating businesses for small bites and wine tasting, all we ask is no double dipping please.
