A TASTING BY THE CHOCOLATE TIER

Chocolate & Brandy

Chocolate is one of the few things people cannot resist – take this opportunity to learn why! Whether you prefer dark, milk, or white chocolate, even thinking about it can bring a smile to your face. Complementing our brandy tasting, we will journey through the rich history of chocolate, discovering how historical practices and traditions have shaped the way we savor it today.

Experience the unique flavors and profiles of five distinct South African brandies, each crafted through different methods. Our expert guides will take you through the various ways brandy is made, including pot still, column still, and blended techniques. You’ll learn how the pot still method produces rich and complex flavors, the column still method yields a smoother and lighter profile, and blended techniques combine the best of both worlds for a balanced and nuanced taste.

To enhance your tasting experience, we will pair each brandy with an African origin chocolate truffle, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that highlight the unique qualities of both. This immersive event promises to deepen your appreciation for fine brandies and chocolates, offering insights into their perfect pairing. Savor the experience with brandies and chocolates from Africa, Europe, and Asia. You will be treated to an informal but educational chat about the origins and makeup of chocolate, making this a truly enriching and delightful experience.
