Take your wine tasting experience up a notch with handcrafted chocolate, exclusively created to complement and enhance your estate’s wine pairing experience. Each pairing chocolate we craft is thoughtfully developed to balance flavour, texture, and finish, allowing both wine and chocolate to shine.
Great wine pairings require balance. We work closely with wine farms to develop chocolate for wine pairings that highlight tasting notes rather than overpowering them. From reds , whites and even MCCs, each chocolate we craft is designed to support the wine’s profile, creating a refined and memorable tasting experience for your guests.
Our pairing range includes curated chocolate selections developed specifically for wine tasting experiences, from individual varietal pairings to complete chocolate for wine pairing sets. Each option can be tailored to complement your estate’s wines, seasonal releases, or guided tasting experiences.
Our process for crafting exclusive chocolate creations for your wine pairing is structured, clear and collaborative. From the initial consultation and understanding your varietals’ taste profiles, to crafting tailored samples for your review and managing final production and delivery, every stage is curated in-house.
We understand that your wine tasting experience reflects the quality of your estate. Every chocolate we craft to pair with your wine is developed with detail, precision, and attention to flavour balance.
Each chocolate is designed to complement specific tasting notes, enhancing structure, aroma, and finish without overpowering the wine. Our approach to chocolate for wine tasting focuses on harmony and refinement.
Every pairing piece is handcrafted using carefully selected ingredients, allowing us to control flavour intensity, texture, and consistency across each batch.
We prepare your chocolate for wine pairing in packaging that aligns with your estate’s identity, suitable for guided tastings, curated flights, or retail purchase.

Hippolytas Chocolates were a real treat! The service was excellent, the custom branded sleeve looked amazing, and the chocolates were absolutely delicious, our event participants loved them! Definitely a company I’d order from again.
— Jessica G., Marketing Events Manager, OptiMove, UKHippolytas service is excellent. Very speedy on response times, and the end product was perfect. Highly recommend.
— Alan K., Founder, Fibertime, Cape TownIt was an absolute pleasure working with Hippolytas. They went above and beyond to create custom, hand-rolled chocolate cigars for our Havana Nights–themed year-end event — a product that wasn’t even part of their catalogue. The team worked closely with us to tweak and perfect the final product, incorporating our company logo and ensuring every detail aligned with our theme. The craftsmanship, quality, and taste of the chocolate were exceptional, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about them. We highly recommend Hippolytas for anyone looking for a truly bespoke and memorable experience.

Absolutely divine so smooth and velvety and so exclusive…..Posted on Lisbé CoetzeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were in Cape Town for our Honeymoon in 2022 and the Hippolytes team were so kind to organise a tasting experience even though we were only 2. After the experience, we went to their shop at the V&A waterfront and bought some trays and their non-alcoholic hot choc stix. It will always be my favourite chocolate experience and guilty pleasure!!
