2018 Chocolate Wine Trail Recap

Hey all,

I took my wifey out for a day around Hermann and surrounding wineries this past weekend just like a tourist. =) The tickets sold out super fast so I’m very excited we were able to go. Had a great time and loved trying all the fun foods and wine pairing from the 7 different wineries on the Hermann Wine Trail. This wine trail is dedicated to chocolate!!! Luckily, my sweetheart has a sweet spot <wink> for chocolate so extra brownie points for me. (See what I did there)

Better than that, we were able to make the entire trip in just one day. We braved the weather and mud but at the end of the line the sun started to peek out and warm our beautiful little town up. Here’s a quick little recap of everything we were able to taste.

Yes, I promised my wife a day throughout the wineries but we had our 7 year-old son come with us since our babysitter options were limited. He was such a trooper throughout the whole trip. He even decided to give Spiderman a heart. Awwww. =)
