Taste Exploration

Wine and Chocolate

Experience how chocolate and wine flavours complement each other.

Presented by Terri Seager, Leven Valley Vineyard owner and Jessica Tivendale, founder of Chokolate Journeys, enjoy a tasting of Leven Valley Vineyards cold climate wines along side bean to bar chocolate.

Bean to bar chocolate is an artisanal specialist product with a flavour profile similar to specialty wine or cheese. Bean to bar chocolate is crafted by a chocolate maker who has developed a working relationship with the farmers who grown cacao they source. Cacao is a fruit whose seeds/beans are fermented and dried at the farm. These are then shipped to chocolate makers who roast, crack & winnow (removal of the cacao bean shell), grind into a paste, temper, and finally craft into chocolate products.  Each step of the process – from farm to maker to you – is visible, traceable and transparent. The aim is to ensure farmers are appropriately paid, the environment is sustainably maintained and you can enjoy the true flavours of chocolate.

This 45 minute taste exploration includes tasting of 4 of Leven Valley Vineyard vintages alongside 4 carefully selected bean to bar chocolate flavours at $40 pp. Any wine purchased on the day will be discounted by 10%.

Children can participate in a tasting exploration of non-alcoholic Ciders and Chocolate that include a tasting of 2 apple ciders and a ginger beer with matched chocolate at $35 pp
