Conservation Chocolate Experience at Rhinory

Fall in Love with the Perfect Pairing

Elevate your Valentine’s visit with our Conservation Chocolate Experience—a romantic union of artisan sweets and world-class Texas wine.

This February, bring your special someone to the Rhinory for a touch of romance and decadence. We’ve partnered with the local masters at the Swiss Chocolate Shoppe to curate a flight of four exquisite, hand-crafted chocolates designed to harmonize perfectly with our current tasting menus.

From velvety dark chocolates that deepen the complexity of our Keras Collection Cabernets to creamy delights that brighten our Texas whites, this experience is designed for those who believe the best way to celebrate love is with a glass of wine and something sweet.

An Elegant Add-on to your Valentine’s Date

  • Availability: Starting February 1st
  • Price: $20 per person
  • Pairing Includes: 4 artisan chocolates from Swiss Chocolate Shoppe
  • Options: This experience can be added to any Signature Tasting or Reserve Tasting
  • The Process: When booking your Valentine’s reservation online, simply select the “Conservation Chocolate Experience” add-on. If you are already at the winery enjoying a date, let your Wine Educator know you’d like to upgrade your flight.

Freshly Crafted & Limited

To ensure the highest quality and freshness for your celebration, our chocolates are delivered in small batches. Because of this artisan approach, the Conservation Chocolate Experience has limited daily availability.

We recommend booking your romantic add-on in advance to secure your pairing. If you have questions about today’s selections or dietary specifics, please ask your Wine Educator for more information during your visit.

Decadence with a Purpose

At Rhinory, every experience supports a greater cause. A portion of every Conservation Chocolate Experience directly funds the Rhinory Foundation, supporting our mission to protect and preserve rhino populations around the world. Celebrate love this month by giving back to the wild.
