Celebrate Valentine's Day and the love of fine wines and chocolates at Alba Vineyard’s 11th Annual Wine & Chocolate Weekends on Saturday and Sunday, February 11 & 12 and February 18 & 19, from Noon to 5:00 PM.  The event will offer visitors a chance to learn more about wine, wine making, and wine tasting with unique chocolate and food pairings, as well as provide the opportunity to stock up on Alba’s award-winning wines.

We are thrilled to have Chocolatier, Diane Pinder, founder of Donna & Co., back with us for this special event.   Her artisan chocolates will be featured both weekends, and Diane will be with us at Alba Vineyard on February 18 & 19 to speak about the chocolate-making process and offer her chocolates for sale to Alba’s guests.

We are also excited to feature Country Picnic from Bedminster and DiSh Catering from Frenchtown.  Opened in 1985, Country Picnic has evolved into one of New Jersey's premier caterers, providing the highest quality in taste and presentation, whether for an elegant wedding, corporate affair or a backyard barbeque.  DiSh Catering is a gourmet catering service whose specialties range from intimate dinner parties to dream weddings to organic farm to table events.  Each caterer will offer samples of their amazing food specialties to visitors during this event.

We also welcome back our neighbors, Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse, who will offer samples of their 100% grass-fed raw cow’s milk cheeses and rustic, multi-grain breads baked in wood fired ovens.  You will also be able to purchase Bobolink’s Cheeses and Breads while you visit.

Reservations are not accepted for this event.  Wine tastings that include samples of Alba’s award winning wines, chocolate and food parings, an hourly cellar tour and a commemorative etched Alba wine glass for each guest to keep will be available throughout the day for $15 per person.
