Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery


If you're exploring Yarra Valley with kids, this is an essential stop. Staff proffer trays piled high with free samples made with imported Belgian chocolate and you can watch the chocolatiers at work through floor-to-ceiling glass windows before enjoying an ice cream, cake or coffee in the cafe. The Bushtucker range of chocolate bars makes for great souvenirs.
