A little over 3 decades ago the YMCA Loudoun County got the bold idea
to partner up with local restaurants and chefs to showcase their
culinary talents for the community through a night of music, dance,
free-flowing champagne, and culinary bliss. The recipe of fun, food,
and philanthropy was a huge success. Hosted by our premier partner,
Lansdowne Resort and Spa, the evening is one of Loudoun’s Finest and
Culinary and Social Events of the Winter Season.
The signature portion of the evening is the BEST TASTE and BEST
PRESENTATION COMPETITION as Loudoun’s most popular restaurants
compete in the Desserts and Hors d’oeurves categories. Dishes are
evaluated and judged by 5 professional food critics and our event
guests. Winners are announced towards the end of the evening for
Critic’s Choice and People’s Choice for BEST TASTE and BEST
PRESENTATION.
2018 Chocolates was the most successful event in the YMCA Loudoun
history. For the first time tickets were SOLD-OUT. The event attracted
nearly 1000 people who were able to taste culinary masterpieces from
30 of the area’s best chefs and culinary teams
