The Ultimate Sweet & Wine Hamper holds 24 items drawn from France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and UK: , packed in a 20-inch wicker hamper. Alongside them sit 2 bottles chosen to match the food.

Barsac and a ten year old tawny

Chateau Coutet is a first-growth Barsac and one of the great sweet wines of Bordeaux – honeyed, but with the acidity to stay fresh. Ferreira’s Dona Antonia has spent ten years in cask, which turns it towards walnut, dried fig and caramel. Between them they cover everything in the hamper, and there is a great deal in it.

Who makes it

Most of what is in this hamper we import ourselves. Hedene press their honeys and make confitures sweetened with honey rather than sugar. Charles Antona has made Corsican jams and canistrelli to PDO rules for four generations. Conservas Virto bottle in Navarra, Novi and DiSanto bake in Italy, Bennetto make single-origin chocolate, and The Chocolate Detective hand-finish their speckled eggs. You can read how protected designations work at the European Commission.

Packing and delivery

We pack this hamper in a 20-inch wicker hamper finished with raffia. Cheese and charcuterie travel chilled and keep well on arrival. We deliver across mainland UK and can send straight to the recipient with a handwritten card. See the rest of the range on our sweet hampers page.

Serving suggestion

Open the chocolate last, and take it out of the fridge well before you do – cold chocolate tastes of very little. Honey and confiture are better at room temperature too. If there is a dessert wine, pour it small and cold, and put the dark chocolate beside it rather than the milk. Biscuits keep best in their own packaging rather than a tin, and an opened jar of confiture will sit happily in the fridge for a month.
