Can’t decide which is better - a decadent bite of chocolate or a fabulous glass of wine? Need help making such a tough decision? The Berks County Wine Trail’s annual “Chocolate & Wine Pairing Event Weekend” is the ideal opportunity to arrive at your own conclusion. Taking place Saturday February 9th and Sunday February 10th (Noon to 5 PM both days) will be 8 opportunities for decadent pairings of both wines and chocolates. Plus, if you are looking for a sweet gift for your Valentine, this event will be a great time to select a beautiful bottle of wine for your romantic Valentines’ Day dinner; or that sweetheart gift of a bottle of wine and package of chocolates for that special Valentine in your life.

Chocolate & Wine Pairing Event Weekend is a self-guided tour of all 8 Berks County Wine Trail wineries. What better way than to spend a beautiful winter’s afternoon than planning a serene daytrip around scenic Berks County, stopping in at various wineries to sample an array of wines, chocolates or chocolatey confections. Plan your travels based on wineries’ location, or based upon the menu of wine pairings, or plan your travels based on visiting wineries on the trail that you have never visited before. No reservations required; this event is free (though please note that several wineries do charge a nominal fee for tasting of their full wine menu, fee refundable by a purchase of a bottle of wine). A complete and sweet menu of the wine and chocolate pairings to be featured during this event weekend will be posted on the trail’s website in the coming weeks; visit the Events page at www.berkscountywinetrail.com to view the pairings as they are posted.
