If you’re hunting for a quick, indulgent escape combining Australia’s finest wines with decadent chocolates, the Just Bliss Wine and Chocolate Experience in Barossa might just be your perfect match. Although I haven’t experienced it personally, reviews and detailed descriptions suggest this tasting session offers a delightful blend of flavors and authentic local craftsmanship.

What makes this experience stand out? First, the pairing of top-tier Grant Burge wines with locally made chocolates—including exclusive options crafted with Shiraz. Second, the intimate, cozy setting means you get personal attention from knowledgeable staff, like Paul, who’s been praised for his friendliness and insight.

The highlight is the pairing of four Grant Burge wines with hand-made chocolates from Just Bliss—a boutique chocolatier in Adelaide known for their meticulous craftsmanship. They use hand-painted cocoa butter and decorative transfers, elevating the chocolates from simple confections to edible art. Among these, the exclusive “Filsell” chocolates made with Grant Burge’s Shiraz are a real treat, with a decadent filling that echoes the wine’s deep, fruity notes.
