Come for the chocolate and leave with the perfect bottle of bubbles for New Year’s Eve!

Riverbench is excited to partner with Jessica Foster’s Confections as we pair our sparkling wine tasting flight along with four decadent chocolate truffles.    

Pre-purchase your hand made local chocolate truffles and then come by our Santa Barbara tasting room any day from Saturday, December 28th to Tuesday, December 31st. Note that our tasting room closes at 2pm on New Year’s Eve and we’re closed on New Year’s Day. 

For Jessica Foster, making chocolate truffles is an expressive epicurean art. With her diverse palate of Belgian chocolates, she blends exotic teas, herbs and spices, infusing her confections to create intriguing flavors like dark chocolate chile and milk chocolate star anise-thyme. Her inspiration surrounds her and by means of this decadent medium, she creates sumptuous chocolate pieces, sculpting each one lovingly by hand.

Pairing intended for our sparkling wine line up, but you may choose any tasting flight, including our current Pinot Noir flight.

$10 ticket includes box of four truffles.  Wine tasting flight is sold separately.
