Melt Away Chocolate Festival
Mmmmmm...chocolate.
Overview
Well done Melbourne, on surviving you coldest July in 20 years. You did good. So good in fact that we think you deserve a reward for your efforts – and what better way to treat yo self than with a festival dedicated to the comforts of chocolate? Indulge in an entire weekend of chocoholic activities from Masterclasses, tours, and plenty of samples to fill your tummy with happiness.
One thing we're particularly excited for are the Chocoholic Tours. You'll learn about the raw cacao bean, go on a mini plantation journey and discover how we eventually get the delectable products we all know and adore. As well as sampling the wares of five chocolatiers, you'll be given a ‘tasting bag’ and rewarded with a chocolate inspired-beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) at the conclusion of the tour. For those who do like to pair their chocolate with a bit of booze, be sure to check out the Tasting Bars, where you can combine your sweet treats with everything from Belgian beers to Nant whisky.
