As the perfect pairing for the holiday, a special recipe that’s simple to create in your kitchen seems ideal for the occasion. We turned to our friends at L’Auberge Provencale in White Post, VA, an award-winning Virginia wine country inn that captures the spirit of Provence stateside with its gorgeous accommodations and grounds, farm-to-table restaurant, modern luxury amenities, and more. “Valentine’s Day is a special time of year for lovers to make special treats for their loved one,” says innkeeper Celeste Borel. “Here in the Shenandoah Valley, we have made many a Valentine’s Day – especially with chocolate! Looking over the archives of recipes, we thought we would share this easy but delicious recipe that you can easily make at home.”
