Annual winter chocolate festival set to delight taste buds again

Mitchelton Wines and The Ministry of Chocolate are again banding together to bring the Mitchelton Winter Chocolate Festival to Victoria over the weekend of August 19-20.

Held at the picturesque Mitcheton Winery in the Goulburn Valley, this year they’re aiming for a bigger and better event than last year’s inaugural winter chocolate festival. Local wines will be showcased alongside Melbourne-based chocolate companies – the perfect marriage.

The Ministry of Chocolate owner and head chocolatier Drew Maddison said the event would be another step up from last year’s successful event, expecting to attract more than 8000 visitors over the weekend.

“The grassy outlook of Mitchelton Wines will again be lined with colourful marquees brimming with mouth-watering treats and the best knowledge of all things chocolate and sweet,” he said.

“Guests will also have the opportunity to walk through one of Australia’s largest and rarely seen underground wine cellars.

“We’re thrilled to welcome so many elevated chefs and industry leaders to be involved in this celebration of all things chocolate.

“Last year we had Adriano Zumbo and Kirsten Tibballs demonstrate, and we’re hoping to attract some more big names for this year. We’ll also be holding the much-anticipated chocolate and wine paring classes in the iconic Mitchelton Tower.”

On both days of the event, the best chefs will compete for the Cacao Barry and Callebaut ‘Best Chocolate Entremet’. Competitors will plate and present their final culinary dessert to four esteemed judges who will adjudicate before the public announcement on the afternoon.

The family-friendly event is free to enter and will include a Children’s Zone complete with jumping castle and petting zoo.

For more information on entering the dessert competition or for sponsorship opportunities, please contact Drew Maddison on 0488 771 992 or visit www.mitcheltonchocolatefestival.com.au.
