Throughout the lockdown months, Gorge Chocolates has remained open every day and many changes have occured. We have taken advantage of the quieter times to develop a new web site with an online shop. We have also done a massive renovation and opened the shop area up into a large open area with a cosy wood fire and plenty of seating. Phase 2 of the renovation will be the addition of a deck and the opening of a more inclusive cafe. A “resource” room is also being developed to cater for alpaca fibre workshops, meetings, mothers groups, education, kid’s parties etc. There has also been the inclusion of many new and delicious chocolate products. Gorge Chocolates has also acquired “The Big Nut”, producing amazing caramalised and chilli nuts. PH: 0427 931 789 Dinny Goonan will be opening his Cellar Door from this weekend.
