Looking to make plans for Valentine’s Day? The Garden State Wine Growers Association (GSWGA) is set to host its annual New Jersey Wine and & Chocolate Trail Weekends, featuring fine wine, artisan chocolate and live music, over the course of two weekends (Feb. 10-12 and Feb. 17-19).

According to GSWGA, participating wineries are offering up a range of date-worthy activities, such as wine flights, chocolate and wine pairings by a fire pit, special dinners, samplings and tastings, and vineyard strolls.

Devon Perry, GSWGA executive director, said, “Wine, chocolate and someone you love – it’s the perfect pairing, and the perfect way to start or continue your journey through New Jersey Wine Country – no passport required.”

She also encouraged wine enthusiasts and travelers to take advantage of the Passport to New Jersey Wine Country mobile app, which features an itinerary tool to help plan visits and record experiences.

With more than 60 wineries and vineyards, New Jersey is one of the top producers of wine in the country, according to GSWGA.
