See some of the wineries who are putting a modern twist on the traditional and even – gasp – pairing chocolate with white wines. You will definitely want to add these Napa Valley wineries to your next tasting itinerary.

Rutherford Ranch Winery
The winery behind delicious and award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon wines offers guests a wine and chocolate experience that will introduce your taste buds to a cascade of complex flavors and profiles.
