The Akron Civic Theatre’s benefit “Wine, Cheese and Chocolate Darling!” doesn’t need anything more than the named ingredients to make it a special evening.
The stars are the wines — 55 different ones, both international and domestic, dry, sweet, white, red, even the trendy organic wines. Wines will be paired with cheeses and chocolates provided by Northeast Ohio businesses such as Marchant Manor Cheese, Shisler Cheese, Mackenzie Creamery, Old Forge Dairy, Mitchell’s Fine chocolate, Metropolis Popcorn, Whole Foods Market 365, Peanut Shoppe, Gardner’s Pie Co., Nothing Bundt Cakes, Heggy’s Chocolates, Sweet Bean Chocolates, Sugar Rush Cake Art, Nervous Dog and D’Agnese’s Trattoria & Café.
The theme is “The Arabian Nights,” which should dovetail nicely with the theater’s ornate décor. It will feature elaborately decorated tables and recommended tasting flights so that guests don’t get overwhelmed. The event is strictly 21 and over.
