As Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s not too late to plan the perfect romantic getaway with your significant other. If you’re looking for something unique and special, why not head to Hunter Valley for a romantic wine and chocolate pairing date?
With over 150 wineries, there’s plenty of vino options on offer to be carefully paired and matched with a range of local, decadent chocolates. The combination of bold reds and delicate whites with rich, creamy chocolates will no doubt create a memorable Valentine's Day experience.
For a classic combination, try pairing a Shiraz with dark chocolate truffles. The intense, jammy notes of the Shiraz will pair perfectly with the intense, bittersweet flavour of the truffles. If you're looking for something a little lighter, try a Semillon with white chocolate. The citrus and honey notes of the Semillon will compliment the sweetness of the white chocolate. For those who prefer something a bit sweeter, a Moscato with milk chocolate is a great choice. The bright, floral notes of the Moscato will bring out the creamy sweetness of the milk chocolate. Finally, for something a little more indulgent, a fortified wine with dark chocolate is a great way to end the evening. The combination of nutty, raisin-like notes of the fortified wine with the intense, bitter notes of the dark chocolate will be sure to please any palate.
No matter what your tastes, the Hunter Valley Wine Country is sure to have the perfect pairing to make this Valentine's Day one to remember.
