The popular wine tastings and hot chocolate are back at Durbanville, and if you have not had the pleasure of enjoying that experience, then this is your chance to.

The winery’s goal is to enhance the enjoyment of its award-winning, cool climate wines by creatively pairing them with interesting foods. This tasting is part of that exploration of flavors.

The combination of silky-smooth indulgence with the depth of the wine creates a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

The Wine and Chocolate Pairings:

Durbanville Hills Pinotage with Dark Chocolate Cherry and Turkish Delight

Durbanville Hills Merlot with Dark Chocolate Mint and Raspberry
Durbanville Hills Shiraz with Cinnamon and Nutmeg

The tasting experience comprises four wines, four chocolate bombs, and hot milk, allowing you to create a personalized tasting experience. As the chocolate bomb dissolves in the warm milk, it will release its chocolatey goodness and unique flavors.

This experience costs : R160 per person, and it’s happening from June – August 2023.
