Will You Be My Virtual Valentine “Two Hearts” Package
Linden Place, an 1810 historic mansion in Bristol, RI, has announced a unique way to celebrate Valentine’s Day 2021. Working in partnership with a Paris-based wine scholar, the “Two Hearts” experience will include a bottle of R’Dumont champagne, hand-picked by Grapes & Grains, handmade truffles by Sweet Lorraine’s of Barrington, a cozy fleece blanket, and history and trivia anecdotes about champagne and chocolates. Valentine’s Day aficionados will pick up their basket of treats, settle in at home, and will then Google Chat in to a very special presentation. The package is $75.
“Champagne is one of the elegant extras in life,” said Charles Dickens. The presenter for the Two Hearts Package will share stories on how champagne became connected to elegance, as you relax and listen at home and let the bubbly stars dance on your palate.
Tanisha Townsend, the Two Hearts virtual guide, has cultivated a community of wine enthusiasts through an unyielding passion for oenology. As Chief Wine Officer of lifestyle agency Girl Meets Glass, (www.girlmeetsglass.com) Tanisha leads wine classes and tours in Paris (and virtually). She also hosts the podcast, Wine School Dropout. Her goal is to empower individuals with an advanced knowledge of wine & spirits in order to build confidence in their tastes and make choices as a better-informed consumer.
“We all have fantasies of sharing a personalized chauffeur driven tour of the Champagne region of France one day,” said Linden Place Executive Director Susan Battle. “But until that day arrives, why not enjoy cozying up at home with your special someone and sipping champagne as together you learn about how it is made and why it tastes so darn good, while indulging on delicious sweets, and enjoying a special shared experience.”
