Wine and Chocolate - CacaoFest 2010

The 2010 Festival's signature opening event was held on the rooftop terrace of the University of Belize, with its views over Punta Gorda town and the seafront, and a great position to see the Festival fireworks at the end of the evening!

The evening featured a selection of international and Belizean wines along with savoury hors d'oeuvres, including chicken skewers with a chocolate barbeque sauce, shrimp dippers with Mexican mole, and hummus with cassava bread chips. As you'd expect, Belize's chocolate artisans were out in force, with a chocolate dessert table prepared by Cotton Tree chocolate, delicious chocolate treats specially prepared for the Festival by Lin and Kerry Goss, of Goss Chocolate, and Kakaw's fabulous dark chocolate created in San Pedro on La Isla Bonita, Ambergris Caye.
