My Favorite Things

Water, wine, chocolate and my loving man- all in one place? Perfect! On Friday night, Brandon surprised me with a special date...a chocolate and wine tasting tour on a boat! The tour was in Frankemuth, on the Cass River. The boat was small; it held ten people, the driver, the tour guide and a table in the center. Our leisurely ride lasted an hour and we got to try 5 different wines, 5 different chocolates and then were offered a glass of our favorite tried wine.

The ride was beautiful; our departure time was 8pm so the sun had gone down a bit and it had cooled down just enough to be the perfect temperature. The tour guide and the driver were so interesting and fun; they told historical tidbits, stories and jokes...the perfect compliment to the ride. The wine was delicious and the chocolates were to die for! After we got back to the dock, we headed up to their store where we were given 2 more free wine tastings and then were able to purchase both wine and the chocolate.

After our tour, we walked down Mainstreet to the Brewery restaurant where we had dinner (and more wine!) It was such a great evening! If you are looking for something fun and relatively cheap to do (20 dollars per person), I highly suggest this wine and chocolate tour!
