A winter tasting crawl for mac-and-cheese fans
Stroll downtown Coeur d’Alene sampling inventive mac-and-cheese bites and sips, with tasting stops, family-friendly options, and a cozy midwinter vibe.
Event details
Grab your wristband and map out a winter Saturday tasting crawl through downtown Coeur d’Alene, where local restaurants and shops turn classic comfort food into creative, shareable bites. You’ll sample everything from smoked gouda twists to bacon-jalapeño variations, plus optional drink pairings, as you wander Sherman Avenue in late January or early February. Most venues cluster within a six-block stretch, so the route stays walkable even in crisp North Idaho weather.
Plan for 2-3 hours of sampling, dress in layers (indoor stops warm up quickly), and bring cash for any add-on purchases. The event typically runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the heaviest crowds hitting between noon and 1 p.m. If you want elbow room, start early or save the most popular stops for last.
Make it a full weekend by booking a lakefront rental through Lake.com and pairing the festival with Saturday brunch at one of Coeur d’Alene’s legacy cafes or a Sunday morning walk along the Centennial Trail, which hugs Lake Coeur d’Alene’s north shore for miles of snow-dusted views and quiet winter light.
