Flavors and notes the exist in the local wine are inspiration for many of the chocolate creations that are offered. Lavender, sage, rosemary, thyme, clove, espresso, fresh fig, and cardomon to name a few...even a Pendleton whiskey truffle coated with Hazelnut praline pays tribute to the region. Viva OREGON! OH Yeah~~~

The Blue Mountain Cider Company, which also houses Watermill Winery. A lovely tasting room at each of these facilities makes a stop in Milton-freewater a real reward. As you travel to the other great cellars in the area, you should stop at Zerba Cellars, which has a broad selection of wines and is set to open a divine little log-cabin tasting room. Also dont be suprise when those famous Walla Walla wine makers give the location of the most sought after vineyards fruit....no surprise Oregon. All~

However upon moving to Central Oregon I have been searching for exquisite chocolate available in this area. I recently discovered Pegasus chocolates located in Bend,OR in the Wagner Mall. You might give them a try... my personal favorite is their 'chocolate pattie' with crushed cocoa beans or espresso beans. Euphoria is also a personal favorite of mine.

I also wanted to mention another fabulous find from Wonka-land..KeKau (http://kekau.com/). I discovered this creative chocolatier last weekend at the 2nd Annual Oregon Truffle Festival Marketplace. In fact, I had a small piece for breakfast this very morning... Nothing communicates: "Honey, You're Hot!", the way that one of KeKau's spiced, habanero tequila Guayaquil dark chocolates can!

I just tried Lillie Belle Farms for the first time last week. Very nice stuff, I especially enjoyed the lavender caramel. I've also tried Sahagun (only available in their shop) in Portland ... well worth a try. Awesome list. I just tried Lillie Belle Farms for the first time last week.
