The Jacksonville Chocolate, Wine and Whiskey Festival is popping up in the Rail Yard District near Riverside Avondale on February 21, 2026. Picture this: folks pairing fancy chocolates with wines and whiskeys that could make your taste buds question their life choices, all without the pretension of a stuffy tasting room.
Expect plenty of samplings to test your palate, some low-key educational chats on what goes with what, and booths from local vendors hawking their goods. Tickets come in different levels, usually bundled with tasting kits so you can sip and nibble responsibly, or not.
