We’ve all been to the grocery store and seen Valentine’s Day gifts adorning the shelves; teddy bears, chocolates in a heart-shaped box, candles, etc. Consider elevating your Valentine’s Day game this year by treating yourself and your sweetheart to something memorable that you can share together. You could even make an entire weekend out of the holiday with these three events that are taking place Valentine’s Day weekend at Black Star Farms.

About the Writer, Olivia Kiel
As a Manager at the Old Mission Peninsula Tasting Room and blogger for Black Star Farms, I get the opportunity to write and learn about wine (two of my favorite things) every day. Over the years I’ve developed a passion for everything Black Star Farms by working alongside the company’s best and pouring its finest wines for guests from all over the world. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Ferris State University where I studied Writing and Business and have been a Northern Michigan resident for about three years. When I’m not pouring wine, you’ll likely find me with a good book, enjoying the outdoors, or tasting something new and exciting at a local winery. Thank you for reading my posts, and don’t hesitate to say hello next time you visit Black Star Farms Old Mission. Cheers!
