yarra valley chocolaterie, yarra glen
/Chocoholics must stop here! It’s a chocolate factory that is out of this world. Mamma's kind of heaven! The Yarra Valley Chocolaterie is a Valley treasure. You will be greeted by that sweet scent of coco as you walk through the doors and there are rows upon rows of treats before your eyes. Meters of chocolate bars, giant polka dots, rocky road and even chocolate beauty products.
Ice cream is the same - flavours you would only dream of. And then of course is the cafe! So many options how is a Mamma ever going to choose? The Chocolaterie is a working factory AND has a great kid friendly cafe on site too. A must, is the the REAL hot chocolate. You choose your milk and preferred chocolate white, milk or dark - and then stir in that goodie goodness yourself. Have a taste, and if it isn't quite rich enough, add some more chocolate (or just eat it right out of the cup!).
The grounds and rolling hills are another treat in themselves. You can buy a ball from the gift shop (the communal tubs are not available since the COVID restrictions). Mums and Dads can watch them play (and sneak in another coffee) from the deck, whist taking in that magnificent view of the Yarra Valley. It is also a great idea to visit the goats in the bottom paddock before you head to the car too!
Mamma's special mention: For the children 6-12 years, you can sign them up for their own chocolate making experience with the Junior Chocolateire program on selected weekends and during school holidays or during the week (and during school terms).
