IT'S ALL ABOUT SWEETS AT BLANCHARD FAMILY WINES
One of their most popular offerings, the Wine & Chocolate Pairing Class, is a perfect fit for a romantic night out or an elevated outing with friends. Available almost every day of the week, this guided experience explores personal taste preferences and the individuality of each taster. You’ll sample four thoughtfully selected wines paired with four artisan chocolates, learning how different flavor combinations can enhance – or completely transform – the tasting experience.
It’s intimate, interactive, and just the right amount of decadent – ideal for your Valentine’s Day outing.
Looking to add a little more intrigue? On February 14th from 6–8pm, Blanchard invites guests to trust their senses during the Valentine’s Day Blindfolded Wine Tasting. This guided experience encourages you to slow down and focus on aroma, texture, and flavor without the visual cues. For $95, enjoy two curated tasting flights and a bottle to take home – plus a memorable twist on the traditional wine date.
Reservations are required for Blanchard’s classes and experiences, making it easy to plan ahead and secure your spot.
