What Luxury Celebrity Swag was in the TASTE AWARDS VIP Gift Bags this Year

Every year the TASTE AWARDS event includes a fantastic feature called the VIP & Celebrity Gift Bag, also known as the Swag Bag. Even though the 12th Annual TASTE AWARDS were presented virtually due to the Pandemic, this tradition continued with “bags” becoming “boxes” that were shipped directly to select award winners, honorees, inductees, and nominees.

They included a selection of luxury chocolates and confections, as well as other unique surprises from partners such as Panache Chocolatier, CocoTutti,  Toni’s Toffee, DGZ Chocolates (Toffarazzi), Hazelnut Hill, Mel’s Toffee, Luxx Chocolat, and Regenie’s.

Award winning filmmaker Rob Serrini produced a short and humorous video about what several award winners received in the 12th annual TASTE AWARDS VIP Gift Bag, which was shipped to them directly in that unique year for awards events during the pandemic.

ABOUT DOMAINE DE TASTE: THE GIFT

This boutique wine was developed by R&B Cellars for TasteTV and the Awards for food, wine & chocolate lovers.

The wine is a reflection of America’s heritage grape; the base of this blend is Zinfandel from the Del Barba and Favalora Vineyards in Contra Costa county. Both vineyards are over 25 years old and are a combination of trellised and head trained vines. Contra Costa fruit often yields one of the most classic expressions of Zinfandel: red cherries, hints of plum, and a little spiciness. Married together with Petite Sirah from both Napa Valley and Lake County and a touch of Lake County Mourvedre, it was aged in a combination of French and American oak. This ‘Zin’ blend is luscious and mouth filling. It can be perfectly matched with a myriad of dishes such as roasts, burgers, lamb, goose, dark chocolate, or even Portabella mushrooms. This blend was lovingly made by R&B Cellars for TasteTV.

TasteTV Networks produces the TASTE AWARDS, the International Chocolate Salons, wineFLIGHT, and more.
