Chocolate and Wine Pairings: Magic or Myth?

Tuesday, 26 July, 2016

With the proliferation of unusual and sometimes frankly disturbing combo’s being created to jazz up wine tasting room offerings, Avontuur Estate is hoping to answer at least some of those questions with a tutored tasting by winemaker Jan van Rooyen on Saturday, 13 August from 10h30-12h00.

Get the creative juices flowing and think about these offerings:  Does ice cream and wine pairings really work?  Which wines can stand up to spicy salami and biltong?  And what about everyone’s favourite – wine and chocolates?

Van Rooyen plans to pose the question:  Chocolate and Wine Pairings: Magic or Myth in his presentation and has chosen pairings to work together well, or so we hope!  Participants are welcome to comment, make suggestions and eventually make up their own minds.

After the tasting a light lunch with a glass of wine will be served. The cost is R100 pp and we have seats for 20 wine lovers only, so make sure you get your seats booked asap.

Bookings now open at winery@avontuurestate.co.za or +27218553450.
