It’s a winter wine country weekend just made for red wine and chocolate lovers! Red Wine and Chocolate is a delicious tradition each Presidents Day weekend. This year, it kicks off with Valentine’s Day! Whether you plan a weekend for fun with friends or you’re looking for a little romance, you’ll find the perfect fit.
Carefully Curated Pairings
Valley wineries have been busy planning weekend packed with special tastings, carefully crafted pairings and more. Come discover your favorite red wine and chocolate pairing! Will it be port-infused brownies, s’mores over fire pits, house-crafted truffles, chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolate fondue, chocolate charcuterie or specialty chocolate-covered treats from Chuckar Cherries? Of course, you’ll find more than chocolate on the calendar and on the menu! Some wineries will have live music and special happenings planned and several host food trucks or offer wine country fare such as charcuterie and other house-made bites.
Some of the weekend’s special treats include a brand-new port-style wine release from Two Mountain Winery, paired with a port-infused dark chocolate truffle. Milbrandt Family Wines has a Galentine’s Chocolate Fondue Soirée on the calendar and you can build a custom chocolate pairing bundle at Tirriddis Sparkling Wines.
