Wine & Chocolate Walk

Guests are invited to stroll the grounds of the Linden Hill Historic Estate tasting wines from around the world paired alongside a variety of gourmet chocolates. Eventgoers will receive a passport and tasting glass upon entry, and then will be welcome to wander the estate receiving tastes of wine and chocolate at 6 different "country" stations.

The tasting stations will be open from 1pm-4pm with entry allowed until 3pm. Plan for about 45-minutes to an hour to complete the tasting. Event attendees are welcome to stick around after the tasting to order food and beverages in the Pavilion Patio Bar which will remain open until 5pm or later. The Patio Bar will feature wines by the glass, fall-inspired cocktails, hard ciders, seltzers, and locally crafted Starry-Eyed beer. Soft pretzels and cheese, charcuterie boxes and other snacks will also be available for purchase during the event.

Guests can stop by 'Bottle Shoppe' where bottles of wine will be available for purchase to take home from the event. This is a great time to stock up for holiday entertaining and gift giving! Also available for purchase will be bars of the featured Cardamom Milk Chocolate from Wildflower Chocolate in Nisswa, MN.
