Are you a classic chocolate type of person or are you game for more experimental flavours? Whatever you fancy, the annual Ice Cream Festival has something tasty for you.
The famous Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery has a sister venue on the Great Ocean Road and a cute-as-a-button venue on the Mornington Peninsula. All three scenic locations will be hosting the Ice Cream Festival from February 7-18, with each developing new flavours every single day – so be prepared to get more than one scoop.
Past flavours have included dulce de leche cheesecake, balsamic and fig, buttered croissant and last year's highlight Negroni Sbagliato... with prosecco in it. Yep, things can get pretty wild and wacky. There will also be dairy-free, gluten-free, egg-free and vegan options available, so no one misses out on the fun.
And that's not all. Ice cream aficionados can book in for 45-minute tastings, during which you'll sample 12 different flavours with toppings in the private tasting room. These sessions will take place from on Friday - Sunday during the festival, and cost $24.
Entry to the festival is free, with ice creams starting from $5.50 for a single scoop and $7.50 for double cones and cups. For more information, head to the website.
