Huguenot Fine Chocolates is a small boutique chocolaterie in the heart of Franschhoek, where the Cape Winelands’ French-inspired character meets the irresistible appeal of handmade chocolate. Situated on Daniel Hugo Street, it is an easy stop while exploring the village on foot, and offers something rather different from the area’s many wine farms and restaurants.
The business specialises in chocolates made with premium Belgian chocolate, including dark, milk, white and ruby varieties. The chocolates are produced by Belgian-qualified chocolatiers Danver Windvogel and Denver Adonis, with individual pieces carefully made by hand. The range includes truffles, chocolate slabs, filled chocolates and gift boxes, with flavours ranging from familiar favourites such as salted caramel and vanilla to more distinctive creations including Amarula and white-wine-infused chocolate.
For visitors, the attraction is more than simply buying a box of chocolates. Huguenot Fine Chocolates offers a half-hour Chocolate Experience that combines tastings, demonstrations and an introduction to the history of chocolate. The session takes place in the open kitchen, allowing visitors to see something of the craft behind the finished products. There is also a workshop where participants can learn about chocolate-making and make their own truffles to take home. Booking ahead is advisable for these experiences.
The story behind the chocolaterie is also interesting. Windvogel and Adonis trained as chocolatiers in Belgium before returning to South Africa and establishing their business. Their journey from Franschhoek to professional chocolate-making in Europe and back again forms part of the character of the business and adds a local dimension to what might otherwise simply be a chocolate shop.
For travellers with a sweet tooth, Huguenot Fine Chocolates makes a pleasant addition to a day in Franschhoek, particularly when combined with the village’s galleries, historic buildings, wine-tasting experiences and other food producers.
