One of McLaren Vale’s most iconic wineries has collaborated with the beloved team at Haigh’s Chocolate to bring you the ultimate wine and chocolate tasting experience – Sticky Fingers at Woodstock!
Launching as part of South Australia’s Great State Voucher campaign, guests will have the exclusive opportunity to taste four special fortified wines from Woodstock Wine’s family cellar paired perfectly with four specially selected Haigh’s chocolates.
Nestled amongst the towering gums of the beautiful McLaren Vale, Woodstock Wines is known for its exquisite after-dinner wines so this experience is dream come true for those with a sweet tooth.
“Woodstock has a proud tradition of after-dinner wines which spans over 70 years, which all began with my grandfather, Doug Collett,” explains third generation winemaker at Woodstock, Peter Collett.
“Three generations on and we’re still making, blending, and caretaking these delicious fortified wines – some of which are over 50 years old. They tell a historic tale.
The team at Woodstock has been searching for an experience that allows people to rekindle their love for fortified wineand to explore the immersive process in which it is made. During the experience, guests will have the rare opportunity to tase some of Woodstock’s cellar treasures.
The family has a long history of using old whiskey barrels to give their wines a distinct and sweet taste, and the team can’t wait to introduce guests to these flavours through a truly unique sensory experience.
“Haigh’s Chocolates were the perfect partner when we sought accompaniments to elevate the experience – their quality and variety is exceptional, augmenting the tasting experience and even highlighting complex sensory components in the fortified wines,” adds Peter.
“We’re really excited about what we’ve been able to create together with the team from Haigh’s, and can’t wait to welcome people to our corner of McLaren Vale for a finger-licking taste of South Australia”.
“The experience is all about having fun and learning something along the way. Every guest gets to pick their favourite fortified from the line up to take home, so they can continue to enjoy well beyond their visit. Long live the fortifieds!”
This exclusive Sticky Fingers collaboration is available from March 11 exclusively at Woodstock Wine’s Cellar Door.
Tickets include a take-home bottle of one of their famous fortified wines and are only $50 per person, so secure your tickets here.
The experience is also redeemable through the Great State Voucher Round 8 vouchers for those lucky enough to get their hands on one!
