This weekend, Cortona is hosting ChocoCortona, La Grande Festa del Cioccolato Artiginale, or festival of handcrafted chocolates.
And what a selection there is. You can sign up for chocolate making lessons,
observe various chocolate cooking shows,
or simply wander the tents filled with chocolate delicacies.
Some of the chocolates are especially creative:
While others are just plain tempting…
Look no further for that kid in a candy shop…
Or a happy messy one…
Thinking of an after dinner liquor? So many flavors to choose from.
But then why wait till after dinner when you can have a shot in a chocolate filled cup!
However you like your chocolate, you’re sure to find it at ChocoCortona.
Ciao,
Judy
Oh no……..CHOCOLATE! My downfall. Is there a shop to buy some when the festival is not on?

This looks so delicious. I have tried only a few times to use chocolate and it’s challenging. Truly an art!

Yummy! My only disappointment is the last 2 years this festival was held the second weekend of our stay. I so enjoyed seeing all the things they made out of chocolate, and of course had to sample a few too. Ron says it is better for his waistline that he missed it. But I say when on holiday we should indulge in all there is to experience.
I am frantically trying to get all the things on my many lists completed, and I get more excited with every item I cross off a list.
See you soon,
Barbara
