Godiva

“Pair GODIVA and wine,
        and the party will follow.”

How to Pair

Pairing your favorite GODIVA with the right wine will create an unforgettable sensory experience. For the optimal tasting experience, start with lighter wines and finish with more full-bodied wines.
See GODIVA & wine pairings.
 

Smell Wine…

Twirl the wine in a glass and breathe in all of the aromas in a long, smooth whiff.

Look at Chocolate…

Note the decoration, sheen and, if possible, the perceived flavor.

Smell Chocolate…

Lightly rub the chocolate’s exterior, place towards the nose and smell the chocolate to stimulate your senses.

Taste Chocolate…

Take a small bite and let rest on the tongue for 10–15 seconds. Notice how different aspects of the chocolate composition melt at different times, and how your senses highlight multiple flavors throughout the experience. Start to move the chocolate around your mouth and lightly bite.

Taste Wine…

Take a sip of wine and sense the balance and complexity of the chocolate and wine on your palate.
