Spier\u2019s Chocolate & Wine Tasting was one of the winelands’ very first wine-and-food-pairing innovations, and is still one of its most popular. This season, Spier<\/a> introduces a delectable new offering, ideal for anyone looking to refine their pairing palate, or simply seeking a bit of indulgence. In collaboration with the renowned local chocolatier Von Geusau, Spier has created three handmade chocolates that perfectly complement and accentuate the subtle flavours of each award-winning Creative Block wine.

Your tasting journey is presented in a handcrafted chocolate box, served alongside a trio of Creative Block wines \u2013 each excellently paired with speciality chocolate \u2013 and complemented by the palate cleansing and refreshing Cap Classique Brut.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Creative Block wines are named after the art project that provides a platform for both emerging and seasoned artists, launched in 2004. The resulting Creative Blocks adorn the Spier Tasting Room and are available for sale, providing a valuable platform for exposure and income. This initiative harmoniously aligns with the Creative Block wines, which are a collection of Rh\u00f4ne- and Bordeaux-inspired blends. Mirroring the collaborative spirit of the art project, Spier’s winemakers craft these wines by blending grapes from various vineyards, creating rich and multi-dimensional flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
