Dairy Destination Experiences

Corowa Whiskey and Chocolate

From the moment you step foot in this renovated 1920s flour mill it will have you charmed. Take a step back in time while sampling organic chocolate and licorice products and enhance your experience by making your very own giant chocolate freckle or rocky road. Enjoy watching the team create in-house Belgium chocolates, along with crowd favourites from sister company, Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory.

Why not stay for dinner and indulge in the restaurant’s gourmet meals, finished off with a hot chocolate made from real melted chocolate!

If you're less of the sweet tooth type, tour the whisky distillery the first in Australia to use locally-grown ingredients. Here you can witness the makings of high-quality Australian whisky.
