You'll get to taste long lived and full bodied reds and whites full of intricate fruit flavours and impressive aromas. Enjoy a delightful tasting in a local winery with a chocolate pairing to discover who these two beautiful products compliment each other.

This will be followed by lunch in a local restaurant, selected by us.
