On February 11 and 12, 2012, Whidbey Island wineries will pair wines with locally-created chocolate treats.  Whidbey Island’s six winery tasting rooms will be open from 11am to 5pm (although some have extended hours) and participants will receive a souvenir wine glass.  Several of the venues are at wineries with vineyards to tour, such as Comforts of Whidbey’s vineyard and farm with a lovely view of the sound, Spoiled Dog Winery’s farm and vineyard where they just opened their new tasting room, and the charming Italian villa style winery and tasting room at Holmes Harbor Cellars.  Others are offsite tasting rooms, like Ott & Murphy Wines’ quaint tasting room on the waterfront in downtown Langley or Blooms Winery’s Taste for Wine at the Historic Bayview Corner Cash store with an art gallery and live music in the afternoon.  The old historic Greenbank Farm Wine Shop offers samples of several of the local wines along with its Loganberry Wine, and offers a place to sample Greenbank Cellars’ wines.  Tickets can be purchased in advance at the venues or via brownpapertickets.com.  The cost for advance purchase is $20 and tickets purchased on the day of the event will be $25.  For more info, visit www.whidbeyislandvintners.org.
