Additionally, guests can head inside to sample seven tastings of wine along with a variety of chocolate, including selections from Gayety's Chocolate and Shuga Pleez, as well as chocolate-covered fruit and a chocolate fountain.

Village of Park Forest
The Village of Park Forest lays claim to being one of the first postwar planned communities. In 1948, as World War II veterans were looking to make peacetime lives, the village’s pioneers built affordable housing and an accessible road system for a diverse, welcoming community dotted with green parks and tail-finned trees. Today those trees have grown into a mature canopy, and the village has taken steps to maintain its legacy while seeking to reinvent itself for the modern era. In 2000, the Metropolitan Planning Council awarded the village a Burnham Award for its Downtown redevelopment.
The revitalized Downtown area features a variety of spaces where community members can come together for work or play, including its community theater, kid-friendly swimming pool, sand volleyball court, and the business office of the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra. The Downtown area is also home to the Dining on the Green meeting and banquet facility, which overlooks the village green's verdant pasture decorated with ornamental flowers, a gazebo, and sculptures that do not animate and roam the streets with each full moon.
