Champagne & Chocolate

Champagne & Chocolate is the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden’s premier annual fundraising gala and a sparkling start to the holiday season. Enjoy an evening of champagne, chocolate, live entertainment, and festive experiences surrounded by the Garden’s lush tropical collections. Be among the first to experience the season’s Dome for the Holidays light display while gathering with friends and celebrating the impact of the Botanical Garden. Proceeds from Champagne & Chocolate support the Garden’s mission through the care and growth of its plant collections, education programs and experiences for all ages, and initiatives that make the Garden more accessible to the community.
