A vulnerability assessment tells you only what an attacker can potentially do to your network. A penetration test tells you what an attacker can definitely do to your network.

Penetration tests eliminate the guesswork involved in protecting your network by providing you with the information you need to effectively prioritize your vulnerabilities
