ROCKLAND, ME, February 8, 2008. The Historic Inns of Rockland plan to celebrate American Chocolate Week with sweet gusto, and they've partnered with restaurants and spas throughout Rockland to bring a chocolate chomping weekend event. Rockland, Maine will roll out the cocoa carpet, March 7-9, 2008 for the Annual Inn to Inn Chocolate March weekend. This event features two days of sweet samplings and demonstrations throughout the Historic Inns of Rockland and the Rockland community including a wine and chocolate pairing and hot chocolate massages (extra charge). Explore all the reasons chocolate makes one healthy, wealthy and wise. Historic Inns of Rockland will indulge guests in this favorite American food while they kick off the annual American Chocolate Week (celebrated each year the second week in March) with all the pomp and sweetness it deserves.

It's a weekend of cocoa fun with a cake decorating demonstration at Captain Lindsey House, a demonstration on making molded chocolates at LimeRock Inn and then an entertaining with chocolate demonstration at Berry Manor Inn and a chocolate and wine pairing at The Wine Cellar, Rockland's premier wine store. You'll go to bed with visions of chocolate plums dancing in your heads topped off with chocolate lobsters on your pillow each night. The weekend gets started with an international chocolate tasting on Friday evening featuring chocolate from around the world from Safe Harbor Chocolates, and finishes with a fabulous "Blunch" on Sunday at Caf'e Miranda featuring creative new ways to enjoy chocolate ranging from chocolate pasta to chocolate drizzled French Toast.

With all the choco-energy of the events, why not stay the weekend? Historic Inns of Rockland have created the Chocolate March Package including:
