Our Valentine's Day couldn't have been any sweeter thanks to the lovely couples, families and friends that chose to celebrate love with us at Calico Skies Winery, February 14, 2015! 22 tables for 2, 6 tables of 4 and 1 table of 8 all glowing with candles, pink carnations, baby's breath and balloons and love.
[the pairing]
 | Chef Jeni & Co. is lead by Jeni Thomas a South Dakota native. Jeni came to Sioux Falls, SD to attend Augustana College after growing up in Webster, SD. While attending college she worked for a local caterer and began her interest in catering. In 2001 Jeni and her husband Jeff launched Chef Jeni & Co. (chefjeni.com) We love the creative menus that Chef Jeni designs. All to make that perfect bite! Her staff made for a flawless evening of dining while we carefully paired our wines to Chef Jeni's menu... finishing each bite in pure bliss. |
[the prep]
The theme was pink and "sweet"! Precious carnations trimmed each guest's gold charger atop a white doily while balloons and Baby's Breath added to the magic. We also crafted a love coupon at each setting for something to take home. A glass for white wine, a glass for red wine and a sugar rimmed champagne glass awaited each guest.

[the seven course spread]
I did not get a picture of every course this year, unfortunately, but each one was splendid! Our guests sat down to a glass of champagne to start the evening off while enjoying each others company and being serenaded by Elisabeth Hunstad and Matt Hastad, our musicians for the evening.
[the moments]
Cheers to another amazing Perfect Pair Valentine Dinner! Thank you to all of the sweethearts, family and friends who attended this year. We hope you made some magical memories and that we can be a part of future celebrations! Thank you to Chef Jeni & Company and Elisabeth Hunstad and Matt Hastad for helping to make the night unlike any other Valentine experience out there. <3
