On Saturday & Sunday, February 11 & 12 and February 18 & 19, from 12:00 noon – 5:00 p.m., Alba Vineyard in the Village of Finesville, Milford, New Jersey, will host its 11th annual wine & chocolate weekends.
The event will offer visitors an opportunity 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.
Chocolatier Diane Pinder, founder of Donna & Co., will be present once again for this special event. Diane and her chocolates have been favorably covered by the New York Times, the NBC Today Show, the Style Network, New Jersey Monthly, New Jersey Life, and numerous other media outlets. Her artisan chocolates will be featured both weekends, and Diane will be present at Alba on February 18 & 19 to speak about the chocolate making process and offer her chocolates for sale to guests.
Also featured will be Country Picnic from Bedminster, NJ, and DiSh Catering from Frenchtown, NJ. Opened in 1985, Country Picnic has evolved into one of New Jersey’s premier caterers, providing the highest quality in taste and presentation. DiSh Catering is a gourmet catering service whose specialties range from intimate dinner parties to weddings, to organic farm to table events. Each caterer will offer samples of the food specialties to visitors during these weekends.
This event will also welcome back Alba’s neighbor, 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. Bobolink’s cheeses and breads will also be available for purchase.
Reservations are not accepted for this event. Wine tastings that include samples of Alba’s award winning wines, chocolate, and food pairings, an hourly cellar tour, and a commemorative etched Alba wine glass for each guest to keep will be available throughout the day for $15.00 per person.
Bon Appétit!
