EVENT DESCRIPTION
Looking for a great way to kick off your romantic (and hopefully food filled) Valentine’s weekend? Join us for a delectable evening of fine wine and chocolate pairings at Smallman Galley. We’ve joined forces with Amy Rosenfield, owner of Mon Aimee Chocolat, who will be sharing fun facts on the history of chocolate--all while sampling an exquisite lineup of local, domestic, and international chocolate!
The night will also include Cory Hart, of The Winebow Group, who has handpicked some outstanding wines to pair with Amy’s chocolate choices. In total, you’ll get to try 9 wines and 9 chocolates. Check out the menu below and order your tickets today. (Limited space available).
We also invite you to come early and enjoy dinner from any of our four unique restaurant concepts.* We will provide seating at 7pm.
