TANUNDA, SA – Monday, 7 July 2025
Chocolate lovers are in for a treat as Barossa Valley Chocolate Company celebrates World Chocolate Day with a full day of family-friendly fun, new product launches, interactive activities, and indulgent giveaways.
To mark the occasion, the first 50 children through the doors on Monday, 7 July will receive a complimentary scoop of our house-made chocolate gelati, topped with a milk chocolate Freckle Button.
