Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Icecreamerie Review

Ice cream here is really good. Its definitely a place to go and just enjoy ice cream with friends. Its not a life changing ice creamery and the chocolate store is really cool to browse but i wouldnt rate this to be top notch chocolate and ice cream. I gave it 3 stars as its a really nice place to hang out and spend time with friends, come here for a good time but do keep in mind its just ice cream and chocolate.

A lovely place full of delicious chocolates and ice cream.

The place has such good Chocolate! I would recommend to anyone!

One of my favorite ice cream spots - The views and the food are equally good. We had Smashed Avo and Chocolate Waffles - Loved every bit of it.

Very cool. Imagine a chocolate dream world... you are probably thinking of the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie!

A good drive from Melbourne City for some delicious ice cream and some yummy chocolates

Just like walking into Charlie & the Chocolate factory! You even get to watch the pastry chefs making the chocolates.
High quality chocolates and even a decent amount of vegan options.

What amazing chocolate do they have and the place is attractive in beautiful view. They have plenty chocolate products even for bath. I do suggestion to come early as its usually crowded.

Good place to try out the varieties of chocolates available and also the ice cream. Lots of surprise tastes. Don't be afraid to ask. Everyone is helpful.

Nice place to treat yourself you will be spoiled with the chocolate. the place has a huge range of chocolates and also if has make ur own chocolate For kids. The cafe serves good food and also has good desserts.

The place tends to get packed on the weekend and it will not be easy to find a table.

The outdoor has a nice view while indulging in your meal.

Great experience watching how the chocolate is made. Varieties of chocolate to purchase and delicious icecream.

Really enjoyed my visit. Free chocolate! They also have a chocolate tasting session which I would like to have taken part in so perhaps do some research and book before you go if ur a real chocolate fan. Great ice cream and nice restaurant - perfect for a family afternoon out (lots of children around!)

Great food & excellent location. If you love chocolate this is a must see. Some things are a bit pricey but it is worth it for the visit on a beautiful day. Will be back

Love chocolate and ice cream? You need to come down to this place and have a look around. Free entry and there's a few free samples even. You can find some bizarre flavours. Good place to buy a gift for someone... Or yourself. The ice cream is really good too with a huge variety.

Must visit this place if you love chocolate. And even if you don t you can visit here just to have a coffee and enjoy the magnificent surrounding views. Free tastings as per the photo. Can get pretty busy if tour buses arrive!

Nice cafe with a lot of chocolate to choose from, in their shop

Nestled on a beautiful property with amazing views I would recommended this to anyone who loves chocolate and looking to take their family out on the weekend.

Immediately upon walking in the door you are greeted with 3 big bowls of free samples of Pastilles. Taking a handful, your eyes then raise to take in the rest of the room, and you have to consciously stop yourself from drooling!

Chocolate! In all sorts of combinations and at pretty much every price point guarantees you will find something. It's pretty damn good chocolate too! Oh and the ice-cream shouldn't be given the cold shoulder either.

The cafe area is pretty expansive with lots of outdoors seating. The only negative here is the cost of things at the cafe. Yes the cakes are fairly big and they come with cream and a "shot" cup of gooey hot chocolate, but the size/price could be dropped considerably.

The staff though are outstanding! Cheery, smiling, pleasant - and that was on a day when the place was absolutely packed, and they were running around like mad!

Well worth the drive.

Great ice cream and wonderful chocolate. There is space for picnics and children to run around outside. Lots of parking

Amazing! What's not to love about this place. Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate such a large and amazing selection of different chocolates there something for everyone. It was extremely busy when we want but one of the ladies went out of her way to help us to find what we wanted. Thank you

A worthy trip for all. Albeit busy on weekends and holidays, if you visit outside meal times you re likely to score a seat on the deck overlooking the valley vineyards - a view equally worth as savouring as a hot chocolate or coffee. Tasting stations are a hive of activity, and you can watch chocolates being made through the viewing windows. Sandwiches are ok, pizzas good, but the true winners are obviously the desserts.

Words can not explain how amazing this place was.

We came out of our way to stop off here for our 10 year anniversary and we are NOT disappointed.

The selection of chocolates and other treats is enormous, the fact you can taste test the chocolate or ice cream before you buy it makes it easier to know what you want.

For $3 you get access to a kitchen where you taste the finished products that are on the shelves.

I recommend stopping by for a good hour or two.

It's an amazing place like something care that the Willy wonka book. Taking it quite busy so it May take your world to get a delicious hot chocolate or ice chocolate As well as with he for other delicious item takes your fancy but it is well-worth the wait.
Make sure you bring plenty of pocket money because there is going to be quite the amount and of chocolate items that are going to sneak into your basket.

Very Expensive and decadent chocolate. The service and quality was very good and the chocolate tasted absolutely fabulous. Its a shame i am in sydney and cannot get this. This in comparison with other chocolate places are far more cheaper and higher quality

Good place to visit with your family, especially if they love chocolate. They have 1 metre long and 1kg chocolate which will surely give a good punch for all chocolate lovers.

Great variety of choclates and Icecreams..!!! Amazing Customer service...!!! Kudos guys :)

nice scenery, vineyard, chocolate factory and souvenirs, cafe with variety foods, drinks & ice cream

Very nice place to visit. Amazing views and lovely food!

Great place to buy chocolates and gelato! So many chocolates to choose from!

Love, love, love the chocolate. Great place to have a picnic.

Great food, great prices and great views! 5 stars goes mainly to the staff, they are so friendly and handle the massive pressure of the crowds so well. We were so impressed.

This place is seriouly heaven. The best turkish delight i have ever had!!!!! Can't wait to come back.

A long drive from Melbourne and the focus there was a coffee shop. They had chocolate sampling stations but you feel rushed towards that coffee shop. The landscape is very nice but under utilized

Absolutely delicious food, chocolate and coffee, the only downside is the wait in the queues, it was an extremely long wait

Fantastic stop during a wine tour, always get a kick out of bringing people here to see the faces as they walk in, its like, speechless...

Staff are always fantastic and i recommend this as a must stop when your next in the Yarra Valley.

A great place to take the kids for an outing. The chocolates and the ice creams are great and there is a really large outdoor lawn area for the kids to play. There are a few farm animals as well, fenced away. Absolutely loved this place.

Yummy place.. Filled with chocolates and ice cream.

Perched on a crest just outside Yarra Glen the Chocolaterie has really captured a relaxed ambient vibe, its the perfect destination even if you dont have a sweet tooth. But if you do then OMG yum..
Do a tour or simply wander and enjoy incredible Chocolate, icecream and the beautiful Yarra Valley setting..
***** Highly Recommend

Very very busy during the holiday season. This didn't keep us from loving the free samples, sitting down and having a drink. Very touristy and more like a shop, I was hoping to see more of the actual factory.

Note- the hot chocolate is not melted chocolate like at Max Brenner, but a glass of milk to which you add your melted chocolate. Even if you're ordering dark chocolate (hoping to avoid milk) you'll be getting milk.
Be sure to ask for soy if you're lactose free or vegan.

What's not to love about chocolates, rocky road and ice creams. Watch them make it.. just bring your wallet

BARRY Callebaut Chocolate remelted and moulded, handcrafted and added flavours irs quite nice

But

Make your own from the origin beans

You have some great Chocolate flavours and a shop in the city or the airport would be great, your chocolate is better as Haigh's just difficult to get

Delicious ice creams with beautiful surrounds. We love this place. Cant reccomend it enough!

Love this place only downside is that it gets so packed. I just went straight the amazing dark chocolate Rocky Road and straight to the till. There were just too many people in there to look around.

Massive icecreams, delicious chocolate, yummy drinks... and masses of customers, especially at the weekend. Prepare for crowds at busy times, but once you've bought your fare, retreat to the lawn to soak in the Yarra Valley views. Beware: the prices are not cheap for most items!

A must place to visit in Yara Valley. You can see tempering of chocolate for various outcomes. They let you taste free.

Pricy but quite good experience. Beautiful country view and tasty hot chocolate.

Loved the ice-cream and chocolates. Great staffs with a wonderful attitude. Definitely on my list on my next trip Down Under.

Has a great chocolate workshop and tasting class. Perfect for a fun group day out.

Bustling and sweet, the chocolaterie has become quite popular.

Located on a spot that looks over a vast and expansive mountain view, the scenic points are amazing.

Many car parks and huge grassy areas that are great for a picnic I would highly recommend during a sunny blue day.

However, as we are in a pandemic there are things I will mention: masks were worn by all employees and signs to notify visitors to wear masks. But what use are signs and rules of they aren't enforced? Unfortunately there were quite a few people not wearing masks with their families while visiting, which was concerning as the place is popular with little opportunity to social distance.

The restaurant had a nice varied menu with a plethora of savoury to sweets. As this is a chocolaterie I would recommend something with sugar in it.

Overall it's a great place to visit with friends and family, a good rest stop for if you're planning to go further along the drive to the wineries or just to bask in the expansiveness of this sunburnt land.l, just remember to mask up haha.

You can find a lot of different types of chocolates around the shop, there's a cafe on one side and on the other side is a glass panel and behind that you will see how the chocolates were made. They also have ice cream with very nice selections.

The staff were friendly. There was someone who introduced a range of chocolate called valley bush tucker that was her favorite and it ended up as my favorite as well.

It was a great experience and i would love to go back.

I love chocolaterie & ice creamery! I love to share this place to all my guests. Everytime when I take the tour group to Yarra Valley for the winery tours, because I always talk about wine tasting, especially I mention red wine are nice to go with some nuts, chocolate based desserts. I always request to guests to engage with me then I take them to here as a reward.

Wonderful place to drop in, have a look around and indulge. While we were there they were giving out samples of some of their speciality chocolates, such as Turkish delight, and choc covered pretzels. Stacks of products to choose from, as well as a selection of ice creams and gelato, plus a cafe!

Yummmmm..yummmmmm.yuummmm...Im like a kid when I visit this place...

A great place go for good food and fun day out, beautiful views ,awesome chocolate, the 3 stars is because during this pandemic the place was packed no way to social distance and no masks except the staff.

Chocolate chocolate chocolate!!! I had the best hot chocolate I've ever had! I purchased $50 of chocolate to take away....expensive. The unusual flavors were just that....unusual. One bar I threw in the rubbish...it tasted terrible.

Very nice place to spend your time with family and friends. Especially, good for kids. I love to be there as there are a fantastic view, a spacious garden to play and delicious ice cream with a variety of flavors.

Love this place. I have been here for 10+ times and all of my visits have been pleasant. Staff is always nice with a smile on their faces.

A great place to go with the family. Lots and lots of different chocolates and a great eating area

Free chocolate tasters good for customers who are waiting and Perfect place to bring the kids. And I love the heavenly honeycomb milk.

Tourists place, tourists prices. Nice place large variety of chocolate and very good ice-cream. They have a cafe serving coffee pastries and cakes.

A great place for anyone who loves chocolate and everything to do with it

Delicious , creative , great service , friendly staff , tons of chocolate , wonderful place to visit

We were delighted with the kids junior chocolatier course! Run with great effeciency and loads of fun. They loved every minute of it. Beautiful location.

Still had yumo chocolate. And food. Wasn't such a big variety as a 2years ago.

Not what I thought it was going to be. Just a shop basically with some grass area around it for kids to play. Plus an ice cream stand

Chocolates are of superb quality..and varieties attracted like anything.... simply WOW !

Visited chocolate factory on the way back from Yarra river. We bought some chocolates home

Great location, great set up and on top of all it's chocolate. What more can you ask for on a beautiful day. Can't go wrong with this one. Must visit!!!

Always busy on the weekend but our Granddaughter loves it. Lots of family groups and tourist buses but if you love chocolate you'll love your visit. Icecream, coffee and snacks also available.

This place is so relaxing with beautiful views and food. Highly recommend it

The most delicious chocolate in a collection and variety which would confuse you thoroughly. I've cream were very good and the serving very generous. Enjoyed the experience.

Lots of chocolate, decent, exquisite views, the deck was made of wood

Happy Birthday Harrison

Oh my! Abundant chocolate samples. Huge servings of icecream and great quality chocolate in a wide variety of flavors. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Overcrowded.....very slow payment area with only 1 cash register.....ice cream good but not great.....overall very poor experience

Expensive Chocolates for below average quality. Its not even worth to drive here. Waste of money $$$. Owner is quite rude to customers.

Im betting Jessica Whipp didn't visit the Chocolaterie.
Because if she did she would have seen the amazing amount of single 'hand made' chocolates that aren't wrapped in single use plastic. Once purchased they are placed into a paper bag for you to take home. But hey! don't let the truth get in the way of a good soap box lecture, hey Jessica?

Very popular place for good reason. Big selection of chocolates and gift ideas and beautiful views of the valley and surrounding vinyards. Choosing a selection of chocolates was made fun with some friendly expert help.

Amazing Chocolaterie, well worth the reputation. We showed up just in time for a chocolate tasting session, and the staff were generally nice and friendly. Nice scenic drive as well

Interesting place. Great selection of chocolate products. Lovely location.

Really nice food and chocolate! It was busy for a Monday afternoon on a school day.
Ordered a 2 scoop ice cream, it was massive and im 6 foot 90kgs.
The chocolate, mint choc chip were really yummy. Its always really nice chocolate and worth the extra money spent.

The best place for family and everyone!!! Great food with lots of flavours and surprise and different types of chocolates and huge outdoor area!!!!nothing was opened on boxing day but this place saved us today haha it was warm outside and it was packed and this place is like a wpnderland in Yarra Valley!!!

Ver disappointed with the new lunch menu and new chief food quality. The cheeseburger was like a frozen burger and not good at all. Obviously, the hot chocolate and chocolate variety are still good.

Great view, friendly staff, delicious chocolates and food

Amazing place, lovely staffs, nice view, perfect location, variety of chocolates, yummy ice creams, cafe and cant stop writing more good about this place. you can watch chocolate factory, kids playground, free chocolates and many more with free entry. unfortunately couldn't give thousand stars :P

This place was amazing, wall to wall people purchasing and tasting Chocolate, there were so many people there you couldn't move.

Excellent place to stop and sample good chocolate. An amazing selection of flavours, some very controversial but very interesting. They also offer local flavours from the Australian Bush which are nice.
Breakfast is definitely recommended, especially the full one with the pork and chocolate sausage, nicely balanced flavours

Great food great atmosphere all round fantastic day out.
