Volcanic Chocolate Tour & Tasting

Step inside the delicious world of Volcanic Chocolate and experience artisan chocolate-making like never before. Nestled in beautiful Whareroa, our chocolate kitchen is usually a behind-the-scenes haven of colour, creativity, and cocoa — but for a lucky few, we’re opening the doors.

This intimate 1.5-hour tour is your golden ticket to see the magic unfold. Watch as rich chocolate is tempered, coloured, moulded, and turned out into stunning handmade creations, all while soaking in the scent of real chocolate being transformed before your eyes.

With a maximum of just six guests per session, this is a hands-on, sensory experience that’s personal, peaceful, and packed with flavour. And yes — you’ll get to taste the goods straight from the Volcanic Chocolate workbench.

Whether you're a chocoholic, curious creative, or just love discovering the craft behind what you eat, this is a unique Taupō experience that hits the sweet spot.
