Visit to Spice Route Destination and De Villiers Chocolate outside Cape Town

4 slabs of hand crafted chocolate labelled Dark, Sea Salt with Caramel, and Coffee

Spice Route Destination is about 45 minutes drive, along the N1, from Cape Town. It is in Paarl South, situated right next door to the the Fairview Wine Estate (Goats, Cheese and Wine). It has great views facing back towards Cape Town and Table Mountain.

There are quite a few businesses situated at the location but of interest to us were the De Villiers Hand Crafted Chocolates (and they had a 20% off sale!), the CBC Craft Beer Brewery, and the restaurants. We paid R30pp to do chocolate tasting and we bought a few chocolates. Info on the chocolates at https://devillierschocolate.com/. Of course there are also wine sales, the Wilderer Distillery making artisan gin, and a few others vendors. See https://www.spiceroute.co.za/.

We had lunch at La Grapperia Bistro and Pizzeria and enjoyed the great view. We both had a seafood pizza for only R130 each. The beer of course was freshly brewed 100m North of us.

After lunch we enjoyed two scoops of hand-crafted ice cream. The chocolate is especially tasty as, of course, it has real high-quality chocolate in it!

It was also a chance to use the Galaxy S23 Ultra phone camera bit. So, there are some wide angle, 3x and 10x optical zoom shots.
