Good news for chocoholics and those with a sweet tooth! After a year's break, The Chocolate Festival returns to Cape Town and this year promises to be bigger, better and even more choc-filled than before!

Set to take place on Saturday 18 & Sunday 19 August, the Willy Wonka-themed event will be held at the Anura Vineyards in Stellenbosch.

Included in the line-up are the likes of Afrikoa Chocolate, Beyers Chocolates, Honest Artisan Chocolate, Huguenot Fine Chocolates, Alexander Avery Fine Chocolates, CocoaFair, Valrohna and Winston & Julia with many more favourites to be announced in the coming weeks.

Says organiser Darielle Robertson of DnA Events: "A truly sublime experience awaits everyone both young and old and we really will have something for everyone to savour."

Robertson promises an array of things to do, taste, drink and enjoy at the festival including a chocolate fountain, artisanal chocolatiers, confectionery makers, ice cream vendors, chocolate-themed movie screenings, live bands, gin, bubbly and wine tents, craft breweries, charcuterie, bread and cheese stalls and much more.

"It promises to be a fun and food-filled day for the whole family," she says
