Wine and chocolate are two of the most popular aphrodisiacs for Valentine’s day. The history of aphrodisiac is as old as the history of wine. Named after the Greek God, Aphrodite, aphrodisiacs’ main purpose was not simple seduction but reproduction. Historically, reproduction was a social and religious duty and thus people believed that aphrodisiacs would improve fertility. The Aztec ruler Montezuma would consume dozens of cups of chocolate before caring out his royal duty of procreating. Proof of wine’s aphrodisiac qualities are first see in on wine cup from the 8th century B.C., inscribed: “Whoever drinks from this wine cup, beautifully crowned Aphrodite’s desire will seize him immediately”. At Staller Estate we offer both of these historic aphrodisiacs as a pairing, our wine and chocolate flights.

All you need to do is pick the wines you would like to have in your flight and we pair them with chocolates and you get to enjoy this wine experience overlooking the vineyard in our heated sunroom.
