Best Chocolate & Wine Pairings

CALLING ALL WINE & CHOCOLATE LOVERS

JOIN US FOR A SWEET AFFAIR: CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL

Indulge your senses and mark your calendars for our upcoming Chocolate Festival on October 22nd. If you're a devoted fan of both wine and chocolate, get ready for a match made in heaven!



As we gear up for this delectable event, we're here to give you a sneak peek into the ultimate wine and chocolate pairings that will make your taste buds dance with delight.

How to match white chocolate and wine


 For the velvety goodness of white chocolate, seek out a sweet white wine or a rosé like our exquisite St Hallets Rosé. These selections compliment each other seamlessly with the buttery sweetness of white chocolate, creating a delightful contrast that enhances every bite. You can also opt for a Moscato or Riesling to create a similar effect.


How to match milk chocolate and wine


Embrace the rich and creamy nature of milk chocolate by pairing it with wines that share its light to medium body and fruity notes. Our recommendations? Dive into the scrumptious fusion of milk chocolate and Merlot or Pinot Noir, like our Chain of Fire Pinot Noir, for a match made in flavour heaven.


How to match dark chocolate and wine


For the intense profile of dark chocolate, go bold with a full-bodied wine boasting fruity undertones. Elevate your experience by savouring dark chocolate alongside our Church Road Merlot Malbec Cabernet or a delightful Cabernet Sauvignon.



Pro Tip: When marrying chocolate with wine, aim to align their intensities. Light-bodied wines go harmoniously with milder chocolates, while full-bodied wines shine alongside robust chocolate flavours.


Join us at our upcoming Chocolate Festival to truly amplify the chocolate experience. With a 3-course dedicated menu and lots of other special treats throughout the day, you won’t be disappointed. Get ready for an celebration of chocolate that tantalizes your taste buds like never before!
