About Barossa Valley Chocolate Company
The Barossa Valley Chocolate Company makes its own couverture chocolate on Burings Road in Tanunda. Its 1,200 square metre building sits on a working vineyard beside a man-made lake. Inside are a production kitchen with 14 metres of viewing windows, a chocolate shop, a gelateria and Benni's of Barossa café. Private workshops are led by the company's chocolatiers for teens and adults, with a minimum of eight people. Groups pick a theme: Rocky Road, Chocolate Block or Praline. In the Chocolate Block class, each guest designs flavour combinations using house-made honeycomb and peanut brittle, then makes three 100g blocks to package and keep. The team can also shape a class around your group, and bookings need more than 24 hours' notice. Larger parties of 13 or more can book a group package that adds a masterclass to a shared pizza lunch or coffee and cake, with an optional guided chocolate tasting. The venue pitches its workshops at celebrations and corporate team days, and the café and lakeside deck can host a meal before or after. For younger guests, kids' birthday parties run on weekend mornings from 10.30am to 12.30pm for at least 12 children. Each party includes a private hosted workshop, a shared lunch from the café's children's menu and a gelati scoop for every child, with creations to take home. Parties are secured with full payment, and parents can relax in the café while the kids work.

Very disappointing experience. We waited around 45–50 minutes for our food, and it was definitely not worth the wait. The coffee was served cold, and when I mentioned it to the staff member, I was asked if I wanted it p…
