The Stockton Symphony has the distinction of being the third oldest orchestra in the state of California. That impressive history serves as a highly suitable background against which this talented group of musicians create the music that has delighted audiences for years. The Symphony has a busy entertainment schedule year round, and they proudly perform the best of both classical composers as well as the familiar tunes that make up their pops concert series.
California is known for many things, but wine is perhaps one of the most famous. The fine products of area vineyards are brought together in a creative and delicious way with the Wine and Chocolate Weekend, scheduled close to Valentine's Day every February. The event takes place in Lodi Wine Country and guests enjoy the finest wines paired with the most decadent chocolate concoctions which add up to an experience that is as aromatic as it is delicious.
The love that the two of you have for each other has withstood the test of time, so celebrate that fact by enjoying a bottle of wine that has also been aged to perfection at the Gnekow Family Winery. Plan a romantic date and take a casual tour of the vineyards and wine presses to see how this family tradition has grown into something that has become as tasteful as it is timeless. Don't forget to take home a bottle (or two) before you wind up your visit.
