About The Chocolaterie
The Chocolateries are must visit chocolate destinations in Victoria, Australia, home to handcrafted artisan chocolates, freshly churned creamy ice cream, and chocolate making experiences that delight all ages. Our talented Chocolatiers create every chocolate with passion, tradition, and a love for all things sweet. At the Chocolaterie, we believe in abundance, generosity, and sharing the joy of chocolate with every guest.
How it all began
In 2012, husband and wife duo Ian and Leanne Neeland transformed a Yarra Valley property into the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery, turning their dream of a chocolate haven into reality.
Now, with over 480 handcrafted chocolates, artisan ice cream, decadent desserts and delicious hot chocolates, it’s no wonder over 1 million visitors each year come into our Chocolateries to experience the place where passion meets chocolate. Right in the heart of Victoria.
Our evolution
Following the sweet success of the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery, a second destination was launched along the Great Ocean Road in 2016, and a third petite Chocolaterie launching in Flinders at the Mornington Peninsula in 2018. Each offers an irresistible experience of handcrafted chocolate, artisan ice cream, and freshly made treats.
