Taste the Passion ~ Wine, Chocolate & Love
TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE AT GILLS PIER AND OTHER WINERIES - PLEASE CALL AHEAD!Video from Taste the Passion 2009!
The annual Taste the Passion weekend wine trail event will be held February 6 & 7, 2010. Love is in the air as you celebrate the upcoming Valentine's Day at the "Taste the Passion" weekend February 6 & 7, 2010. This special weekend celebrates wine, chocolate and love in anticipation of Valentine's Day! The combination of winter's beauty in Leelanau with the special pleasures of life always makes for wonderful weekend.
The weekend starts on Saturday as participants head to their first winery stop to collect a souvenir glass. Then the fun begins with special pours and tasty chocolate treats offered at wineries between the hours of 11am and 5pm on Saturday, and Noon and 5pm on Sunday. However, because one cannot survive on chocolate alone (tempting as it may sound), savory dishes will be served at a number of tasting rooms.
Special Weekend Events
To add to the weekend's festivities, several of the wineries will hold special events and activities exclusively for "Taste the Passion" ticket holders to celebrate the beauty and fun to be had in this winter wonderland. They are sure to provided countless photo opportunities - check them out in the video above and right here.
