The Art of Love: Creative Pairings at KANEKO

At the heart of love? We’d argue it’s creativity. For centuries, humans have been exploring this connection through one of our most delicious traditions: pairing chocolate with wine (and other fermented favorites).

Chocolate and wine have traveled alongside us through everything—celebrations, quiet evenings, heartbreaks, and joy. They’ve been there through the ages, companions to humanity’s highs, lows, and all the in-betweens.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of art, chocolate, and wine on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at 6:30 PM.

This Valentine’s Day, join us for an evening where art, movement, and flavor converge. Wander through KANEKO’s galleries as you savor creations from chocolatiers and winemakers, experience live music, and encounter immersive visual art—all woven together through intention and wonder.

Thoughtfully paired treats and wines await at tasting stations throughout the space, alongside specialty “Love Bomb” cocktails—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—crafted exclusively for the evening by a local mixologist. As you explore, enjoy live music from Andrew Stickman, EDEM SOUL, Omaha Broadway Bar, and Michael Murphy.

Experience delectable pairings like:

De Margerie Grand Cru Brut with Champagne Strawberry BonBon from The Chocolate Season

Torbreck 2022 The Struie Shiraz with Raspberry Caramel from Perennial Homestead

Lange 2015 Trouvére Reserve Tempranillo with Berry Berry Hearts from Wildwood Chocolates

…and so much more!
