Area Events < Red Wine & Chocolate at Paradisos del Sol Winery & Organic Vineyard
Nine chocolate bites with wine Saturday, February 8th – Monday, February 17th. There has been a lovely trend in the approach to Valentine’s Day. It originated as a Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian Martyrs, both named Saint Valentine. Must have been a popular name back then! This day, honoring two guys who died, somehow became a symbol of romantic love. Great for the floral, greeting card, chocolate, and restaurant businesses. But younger people are expanding this day, celebrating love, to include the love of friends. Guy pals and gal pals. The 13th of February is becoming this adjunct to the 14th, expanding this celebration of love beyond the male/female romantic relationship. It has become known as Palentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day. We applaud this! Consequently, we are expanding our Red Wine and Chocolate experience to before, during, and after Valentine’s Day. So, here at Paradisos, the experience will be available from Saturday 2/8 through Monday 2/17. Come visit and find a wine to share with your loved ones and a meal. Of course, chocolate and cacao will be the featured players. We will also be handing out silk flowers for you and your sweetie and if you are Green Thumb folks let’s talk gardening. I may have some seeds to share! Plan a romantic getaway and celebrate a late Valentine’s at Paradisos del Sol Winery and Organic Vineyard. Enjoy our micro-mini-Lilliputian 9-course under-50-calories winemaker’s snack, ten tiny nibbles all include cacao/chocolate: 6 savory and 3 sweet.
