Our take
This is our pick for anniversaries, Valentine's Day and anyone who loves chocolate. A full-bodied California Cabernet is a classic match for chocolate, and every food item here is a chocolate treat: two kinds of cookies, chocolate caramels, caramel grahams, pretzel poppers and cocoa almonds. Buyers rate it 5 out of 5 across 34 reviews. It's all sweets with no cheese or meat, so it's a dessert gift rather than a snack board.
What's Inside the Red Wine & Dark Chocolate Gift Basket
| Item | Size | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Cabernet Sauvignon by Smith & Hook | 750 ml | A full-bodied California Cabernet, about five glasses. Bold reds like Cabernet stand up well to chocolate. |
| Peanut Butter Pretzel Poppers by Koppers Chocolate | 4.5 oz | Sweet and salty. Contains peanuts. |
| Chocolate Caramels by Annalie's Chocolates | 6 pieces, 4.4 oz | Rich, chewy caramels, a favorite to pair with a glass of Cabernet. |
| Chocolate Chip Cookies by Jackson Estate | 4 oz | A classic cookie. |
| Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies by Jackson Estate | 4 oz | Extra chocolate for true chocolate lovers. |
| Cocoa Dusted Almonds by Koppers | 4 oz | Contains almonds. |
| Chocolate Caramel Grahams by Annalie's Chocolates | 2.6 oz | Chocolate-covered graham crackers with caramel. |
That's one bottle of wine and about 24 ounces of chocolate treats across six items. Everything is sweet, so it works as a ready-made dessert board. The merchant also includes a personalized greeting card and can send the recipient an email notification. Contents can change by season, so check the merchant's page for the current list before you order.

Choose something else if

- You want a similar Cabernet-and-sweets gift for less; see the Red Wine Countryside Gift Crate
- It will sit in a hot spot or on a sunny porch; chocolate melts
- They live in AR, DE, ME, MI, MS, NJ or UT; send a gourmet basket instead
Red Wine & Dark Chocolate vs. Red Wine Countryside
Both pair a Cabernet Sauvignon with sweet treats. The Dark Chocolate basket has nearly twice the food and goes all-in on chocolate.
| Red Wine & Dark Chocolate | Red Wine Countryside Crate | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $149.99 | $74.99 |
| Wine | Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon | Legendary Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Food | 6 chocolate treats, about 24 oz | 4 sweet snacks, 13 oz |
| Highlights | Chocolate caramels, two kinds of cookies, grahams | Cookies, caramel popcorn, toffee peanuts |
| Reviews | 5 out of 5 from 34 reviews | 4.9 out of 5 from 192 reviews |
| Best for | Anniversaries, Valentine's Day, chocolate lovers | Budget gifts, thank-yous |
Choose the Dark Chocolate basket for a romantic occasion or a real chocolate lover. Choose the Countryside Crate to spend half as much. For a celebration with Champagne and chocolate, see the Midnight Snack Veuve Champagne Basket.

Delivery and Shipping
Can't ship to: Arkansas, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, Utah, military APO/FPO addresses (AA, AE, AP), Guam or Puerto Rico. For these recipients, choose a gourmet gift basket without wine.
Next-day delivery
The basket is ready to ship, and the merchant offers next-day delivery when you order before its daily cutoff. For Valentine's Day, order early, since carriers get busy in early February. The countdown on the product page shows how long you have. Around Christmas, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day, order a few days ahead in case carriers are busy.
Adult signature required
A recipient 21 or older must show ID and sign, and the merchant adds a $7.99 adult-signature fee. The carrier won't leave it at the door. If no one is home, delivery can be delayed, so a staffed workplace is often the easiest address. First check that their employer allows alcohol gifts.
Weather
Almost everything in this basket is chocolate, which melts in warm weather, and wine shouldn't sit in heat or a hard freeze. In summer, send it to a place where someone can bring it inside right away.
