For over 30 years, we have explored the decadent pairings of Graham’s Chocolates and delicious wines during Geneva’s Festival of the Vine. This year, we will be exploring the Seven Continents; creating a cultural experience that will take you on a trip around the world. Please join us for the enjoyment of decadent chocolate creations from Graham’s Fine Chocolates & Graham’s 318 Coffee House paired beautifully with wines expertly chosen by our staff and Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits.

Graham’s 318 Coffee House will be closed to the public both nights and open exclusively just for this private event with tastings offered both upstairs and downstairs – indoors & outdoors. Our amazing vendor, Kio Kreations is setting up fun photo opportunities for you & your friends to enjoy, and this year we will welcome back the amazing live music of Annalee.

Reservations are $60/per person to taste the seven chocolate & wine pairings. Designated Driver Tickets are now available for $35/per person. If you do not want to drink but would like to enjoy the chocolates & ambiance, we invite you to purchase one of our DD Tickets.
