Hot Chocolate Festival 2017

Take a trip to chocolateries in the Yarra Valley or Great Ocean Road for a festival of decadence with free entry, tastings and the chance to watch chocolatiers at work.

Picture elaborate hot-chocolate creations such as the gooey Hot Gaytime (caramel toffee, milk chocolate, crushed honeycomb and vanilla ice-cream) or for the little ones, the Cookie Monster (a hot chocolate with a cup made from cookies).

You can also pick up tips for making a great version at home, and there'll be special tasting sessions available everyday at both locations. For just $18 per person, visitors can sip and savour eight different hot chocolate flavours during a 45-minute hosted tasting session. Bookings are essential.
