Indulge vices and break resolutions at Fairchild.
You might have heard something about diamonds being a girl’s best friend, but the truth is, it’s chocolate. After all, a chick can gain only temporary satisfaction from staring into a box of jewels, but a box of truffles can bring hours of comfort and pleasure. And this weekend’s International Chocolate Festival will give you two days of cocoa titillation.
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is transforming into the sort of place Willy Wonka would enjoy, except here no one will say you can’t taste the goods; this weekend is all about that. There will be samples at the House of Chocolate, cocoa spa treatments, cooking demos, and a chocolate scavenger hunt for the kids. And just in case a taste isn’t enough, Fairchild will be selling cacao trees that will fill your back yard with the intoxicating smell of bonbons. Indulge today from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Sun., Jan. 27, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., 2008
