When it comes to ice cream, are you a classic chocolate-and-vanilla type of person, or are you game for more experimental flavours? (Hello, goat's cheese and basil pie – yes, really!) Whatever you fancy, the annual Ice Cream Festival has something tasty for you.
The famous Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery, along with its sister venues on the Great Ocean Road and the Mornington Peninsula, are hosting the annual scoop-a-thon from February 12-23. And in news that is sure to have you salivating, 12 new flavours will be dropping every day – so you're gonna want to go back for seconds (and maybe even thirds).
The line-up of flavours is set to include Limoncello Spritz, Nutella custard doughnut, salted caramel s'mores, chocoloate crackle, blueberry and an exclusive Wicked-inspired concoction. Yum! 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... true ice cream aficionados can partake in a 45-minute tasting session, during which you'll sample 12 one-off flavours. Bookings for these workshops are essential, and cost $28. Plus, if you enter the Guess the Flavour competition, you'll be in the running to win a year's supply of ice cream – yes please!
Entry to the festival is free, with ice creams starting from $6.20 for a single scoop in a cup or cone. For more information, head to the website.
