Every Vote Counts.
Join us for the Sips & Sweets Garden tour this October. You’ll be the ones given the opportunity of selecting the 2024 official chocolate for Champagne & Chocolate, our premier fundraiser held in November. It’s a pretty sweet way to make a difference!
With a glass of wine in hand, join Aaron Harpold, director of horticulture, to check out current garden highlights. In addition, three chocolate stops, courtesy of Chocolaterie Stam will be incorporated into the stroll, where we ask you to vote for your favorite. The most popular confection will be selected as the 2024 official chocolate of Champagne & Chocolate.
