This past weekend, Grapevine held the 10th Annual ChocolateFest, a fundraising event benefiting Travelers Aid Dallas/Ft. Worth. Like many of their annual events, this one was fantastic and not one to miss! The event is split into two days, Friday was an evening of Chocolate and Wine at Delaney Vineyards and Winery and Saturday was Chocolate and Art in historic downtown Grapevine.

I had the privileged of attending Friday’s Chocolate and Wine at Delaney Vineyards and Winery. Upon entering, we were given a wine glass, two tickets for 5 ounce samples of Delaney’s delicious wines (try the Sweet Red!) and a box for our chocolates. Many local Chocolatiers, Bakeries, Restaurants and more were on hand to provide some of their finest chocolates. Granted, we were given a box to place our treats in to bring home, but who were we kidding, these chocolates were not going to leave the building!

There was also a silent auction benefiting Travelers Aid Dallas/Ft. Worth. Travelers Aid’s mission is to assist those traveling through the DFW airport. This includes providing assistance during crisis or transition events and to those who have been separated from their families or need additional support. Have you ever lost an item while at the airport? These are the same folks that come and save the day!

The silent auction consisted of multiple items including airfare for two, gift baskets and signed memorabilia from musicians, actors and even astronauts!

This is a great event for a date night, girls night or even with a group of friends. Sampling exquisite wine and chocolate paired with appetizing hors d’oeurves and live music is a great way to spend any evening. We saw many people taking in the beautiful sunset and enjoying the company of their friends and loved ones on the grounds of the vineyard.

If looking for a less formal event or even something for the entire family, check out the Chocolate and Art on Saturday.

This even has something for everyone and is not one you’ll want to miss!
