Chocoholics Tour, Melbourne, VICTORIA
Airing Date: May 16th, 2005
Explore Melbourne through a chocoholic haze. Indulge chocolate fantasies with tastings from some of Melbourne's finest chocolate specialists, and at the same time discover some hidden arcades and laneways.
The oldest arcade, The Royal Arcade, is home to the new chocolate salon, Koko Black, where the chocolatier can be seen making beautiful chocolate creations. A discussion and truffle tasting is all part of the tour.
The wickedly yummy chocolate icecream from New Zealand Natural Icecream is followed by chocolate tastings of Callebaut, one of Belgium's finest.
A short stroll takes you near Federation Square which is the gateway of the Arts Precinct and St Kilda Road, one of the world's great boulevards and close to the walk's last stop.
Over the Yarra River is your final destination, the Langham Hotel Melbourne. With panoramic views of the Melbourne city skyline, the hotel is renowned for its deluxe standards. It's a hotel that defines style, grace and service excellence, and, of course, chocolate is one of their specialties. Desserts at the Lanham take the form of a chocolate indulgence platter.
