Weekends of February 8-9, 2008 and February 15-16, 2008
Elias Child House and Taylor's Corner, historic bed & breakfasts in Connecticut's Quiet Corner, offer a unique experience for savvy sweethearts - the Vintage Valentine Package. Arrive at your cozy inn and be greeted with champagne, chocolates and flowers in your bed chamber. A crackling fire lulls you away from the workaday world.
After a full country breakfast, explore the local shops and antique marts. Be sure to return to your B&B by 5:00 p.m. for an exceptional dinner prepared on the open hearth, followed by a spectacular bottling tour and tasting at nearby Taylor Brooke Winery (http://www.taylorbrookewinery.com).
After a sampling of the locally produced wines, the winemaker/owner will take you through every aspect of the manufacturing and bottling process. Guests will participate in all phases of the process, and be able to take home the product they've bottled. Conclude the evening with a light dessert, complemented by three delicious dessert wines, including Taylor Brooke's famous Chocolate Essence.
After a good night's sleep, another full country breakfast prepares you to face the world!
The price of $395.00 per couple (tax included) includes two nights lodging, champagne, chocolates, flowers, two breakfasts, dinner from the hearth, wine tour and tasting and souvenir wine glasses to accompany the free bottle of wine.
