Verde Canyon Railroad’s popular “Chocolate Lovers’ Special” will be available February 10, 11 and 14, 2024 combining the thrill of a wild, scenic train ride through Arizona’s premier red rock canyon with a sumptuous selection of decadent chocolates and romance-themed cocktails. Naturally, since Arizona became the “Valentine State” and the 48th star on the U.S. flag on February 14, 1912, this holiday is the perfect time to memorialize romance on the rails.
Nestled in boxes of Chocolate Lovers’ Special will be many sweet pleasures such as house made truffles, pralines, cupcakes, mousse cups and other chocolate delectables.
Lovebirds may raise a toast to each other while sipping on a fabulous S’mores cocktail or strawberry Sangria as mating pairs of bald and golden eagles soar along the river that hugs the rails. The train cruises a rare-riparian, crimson-colored canyon deep into the heart of Arizona, a journey far from the everyday.
It’s difficult to imagine any food that is more of an obsession than chocolate.
