Chocolate On Purpose
Highlights
Overview
Ngunggilanha means reciprocity in Wiradyuri language, reflecting commitment to cultural respect, community growth and sustainable practices honouring Indigenous values.
Their unique nexus where Cultural reclamation, traditional wisdom activation and Community empowerment converge through the universal language of chocolate. As Australia's first Indigenous chocolate company, they offer an immersive experience that connects visitors to 60,000+ years of Indigenous plant knowledge.
Begin in their native sensory garden, where you'll see, touch, smell and taste the native botanicals featured in their chocolates. Gather in the Yarning Circle to hear stories about the ingredients and the Indigenous growers who cultivate them. View chocolate production through the factory viewing window, then proceed to the tasting room to witness the transformation of native botanicals through extraordinary chocolate.
Experience the power of Cultural preservation, taste the wisdom of Country, and discover chocolate becomes a vehicle for reconciliation and empowerment.
