1 day
About this activity
Your guide will collect you from your accommodation in Cape Town City Bowl or immediate surrounds and take you to the
beautiful towns of Stellenbosch & Franschhoek! Sample a range of chocolates, truffles and wine at various chocolatiers and wine estates!
Stellenbosch
Hidden Valley Wine Farm is a gem to be discovered on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain near Stellenbosch. Their chocolate pairing was specially designed to enhance the flavours in their wines. Their aim is to educate your taste buds with different textures and unusual taste profiles. Enjoy breathtaking views as you relax and listen to the tranquility of nature while the sounds, sights and smells all blend into their wines.
Blaauwklippen was founded in 1682 however it wasn’t until 1688 that the first vineyards were planted in the fertile soil of the estate. In 1971 the renowned Stellenbosch Wine Route was founded, with Blaauwklippen as one of the first members.
The Route is still going strong today as one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Western Cape. Blaauwklippen became the first winery outside of the USA to join ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates and Producers) for their wonderful array of Zinfandel products and in 2015 they celebrated 333 years of Blaauwklippen Vineyards! Here we enjoy their delectable wine & chocolate pairing!
Franschhoek

Their Self Tutored Chocolate Tasting menu offers the opportunity to sample numerous chocolates. We will do the Single Origin tasting – for the dark chocolate lover.

Huguenot Chocolates – Franschhoek: Welcome to South Africa’s premier BEE producer of fine hand crafted Belgian chocolates. Located in Franschhoek, the gourmet capital of South Africa.
