BARRY, ILL. -- For all you wine fanatics and sweet tooths Barry, Illinois was the place to be Sunday.

The annual Chocolate Festival is probably one of the most delicious events at Collver Family Winery.

It's held every February but just happened to land on Valentine Weekend.

People could taste from several varieties of wine and indulge in different chocolate candies and treats which included a constant flowing chocolate fountain.

There was even live music for everyone to enjoy.

We caught up with Tim Collver, winery manager to see what he had to say.

What wine seems to pair well with chocolate?

"It would seem like that the Berry Berry goes well with chocolate, but there's really nothing that we've found that doesn't go well with chocolate. The people come in they have the wine they like and chocolate fountain, and chocolate cake, and chocolate cookies, and chocolate candies and more chocolate, more wine, and more chocolate," said Tim Collver.

Tim Collver said the event was also a way for people to learn about new ways to entertain at home and browse their gift shop which has many wine accessories.

The Collver winery's next event is the Wine and Cheese Festival in April.
