Chocolate’s one of life’s great pleasures and, thanks to some delicious examples made in the Margaret River region, it’s a pleasure to be enjoyed right at the heart of your visit.

Read on as we discover the Margaret River Region’s finest and tell you a little more about those responsible for its creation.

Little Otto's Big Choc Shop

Little Otto’s Big Choc Shop is a whimsical new destination for chocolate lovers of all ages, opening mid-April just in time for the Easter school holidays. Located in the old Tennis Club in Busselton, this sweet spot will serve up house-made chocolate creations, gelato, shakes, coffee and more – all from within Daisy’s Corner Dairy.

The shop takes inspiration from “Little Otto,” the 24-metre whale who famously washed up in Busselton in 1897 and now resides in the WA Museum. Otto’s story, alongside that of Daisy, who discovered him, anchors this awesome new chocolate paradise.

Gabriel Chocolate

At Gabriel Chocolate in Metricup, you can watch the magic happen through a viewing window as the chocolate machine works its wonders. Taste a variety of single-origin chocolates from Venezuela, Ecuador, Ghana, and Madagascar, or indulge in delicious flavoured blends like espresso, mint, and orange. And don’t forget to relax in the café with a coffee and a decadent chocolate treat afterwards.

Margaret River Chocolate Company

The region’s first venue dedicated to chocolate swung open its doors in 1999. Known for offering generous and free tastings, the Margaret River Chocolate Company draws hundreds of visitors every day of the year, and a chance to watch award-winning chocolatiers in action.

Through the viewing window, you can see the chocolatiers sculpting handmade truffles, and making flavoured chocolate bars of salted caramel, mint chip, orange, coconut rough, sandalwood and cookies and cream. There are specialty chocolates, giant freckles, rocky road, chocolate-coated nougat, chocolate sauces, drinking chocolate, cocoa powder, and even sugar-free chocolate.

Yallingup Chocolate

Yallingup Chocolate is from the same team behind Commonage Coffee Co, and they have replicated the chilled-out vibes in the beautiful store. Browse the range of tasty locally-made chocolate wrapped in beautiful surf imagery by legendary photographer Ric Chan (it makes a perfect gift if you can refrain from saving it for yourself), and then enjoy coffee and a treat in the shady backyard. It’s the quintessential Yallingup experience, laid-back yet elevated.

Temper Temper is a chocolate lover’s paradise with tons of flavours, from classic combos to surprising mixes like caramel, cauliflower, and chilli. Run by chocolatiers Roz and Georgia, this Cowaramup gem uses sustainable chocolate and creative ingredients in every batch. Extra plus – they’ve got skincare and lip balms packed with cocoa on the shelves too.
