What makes this day different
Why this tour
A pairing with a bit of theatre
Chocolate flights are hands-on and genuinely fun: several chocolates, several wines, and a host who explains the misses as well as the hits. Nobody leaves without a favourite.
Red-wine country
This route leans towards the Cape’s fuller reds, where cocoa and dark fruit actually meet. It is a very different day from a crisp white tasting.
Especially good in winter
Warm, rich and indoors-friendly, the chocolate route holds up beautifully when the Cape weather turns. Cosy cellar rooms are part of the appeal.
Is this your kind of day?
Who it's for
Couples
Sweet-toothed pairs who want a tasting that feels more like a treat than a lecture.
Friends and celebrations
Hen parties, birthdays and groups who want the day to be fun first and educational second.
Red-wine drinkers
Anyone who heads straight for the Shiraz or Cabernet and wants a pairing that meets it there.
A tip from your guide
Try the dark chocolate with the youngest, boldest red on the table. The match is louder than the smooth, older pairing — and it is usually the one guests remember.
