Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery

Great Ocean Road


A sure way to placate those backseat cries of 'are we there yet?' is this chocolaterie located 4km outside Anglesea. It's a massive site that makes all its own chocolates and truffles on-site (including a bush-tucker range), a process you can observe through the gallery window. There are plenty of free samples, as well as 20 flavours of ice cream and an on-site cafe.

On most Saturdays they host chocolate-making courses (from $20); book online.
