Our Story
The Barossa Valley Chocolate Company vision was to create a family-friendly venue that could be enjoyed across generations as a place to gather and share good food, premium wine and artisanal chocolate amongst a stunning Barossa landscape. Chris Day of Food and Beverage Australia Limited (FABAL) and his wife, Sandy embarked on their journey combing their love of South Australia, our wine regions and their love of quality artisan produce to build a stunning venue in the Barossa Valley with a viewable chocolate production kitchen and a team of chocolatiers who work with the finest couverture chocolate. They created chocolate shop and a cellar door, a cafe and stunning events spaces for people to gather and enjoy.
Within the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company, there is:
Chocolate Production Kitchen where all the magic happens. Visitors can watch the Chocolatiers at work through 14m viewing windows.
Chocolate Shop where you can buy products made and packed on-site. Many are exclusive just to our Tanunda shop.
Gelateria where we make over 22 flavours of Gelati and Sorbet. These also go into our Milkshakes.
Café where you can enjoy lunch or coffee and cake indoors or on the deck with water and vineyard views.
Cellar Door where you can enjoy an experience, such as our famous Wine & Chocolate Pairings, with our partner winery, Vineyard Road.
The Barossa Valley Chocolate Company truly is 'fun for all', with something to entertain, delight and inspire people of all ages and walks of life.
