Capturing the imaginations of chocolate lovers, young and old since 2012

From rich, velvety chocolate to creamy artisan ice cream, every bite is made with passion, tradition, and a love for all things sweet.

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 in to 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.

New Look, Same Amazing Chocolaterie

Next time you visit us, you’ll notice that we look a little bit different. but don’t fret, we’re still the same amazing Chocolaterie run by the same talented team. We’ve just refreshed our brand to better reflect what makes us truly special – our delicious chocolate, our to-die-for ice-cream, our beautiful grounds, our talented team, and of course our indulgent chocolate inspired experiences.

Crafted with Love, Rooted in Responsibility

At the Chocolateries, our philosophy is rooted in love and abundance. We craft our creations using 100% sustainably sourced and ethically farmed cocoa. Partnering with Cocoa Horizons to support cocoa farmers through education and sustainable practices. We ensure every chocolate treat we make is as responsible as it is delicious.
