Wine seminar - Chocolate and wine in Munich

Sweet grapes meet tart beans — and the result is nothing less than a feast for the senses! In this gourmet seminar, we combine the world of wine with the tempting variety of high-quality Grand Cru chocolates. Because yes, chocolate and wine are more than just a cliché — they are a real dream couple when you combine them correctly.

Experience how chocolate not only goes well with port wine and sweet wines, but also finds surprising companions in strong red or elegant white wines. Together, we taste heavenly combinations, discover sweet secrets and elicit chocolate and wine's true character traits.
