Celebrate Spring at Floriade with Artisan Chocolate in Canberra

Springtime in Canberra means Floriade, Australia’s biggest celebration of Spring! This year, we’re thrilled to be part of the festival in a deliciously local way, with our bespoke handmade artisan chocolates featured in the Contentious Character x Underground Spirits. Floriade Wine and Gin Garden.

Artisan Chocolate Meets Local Wine and Spirits

As an artisan chocolatier, we love celebrating the best of the Canberra region by pairing chocolate with outstanding local wines and spirits. For Floriade, we created an exclusive range of handmade truffles inspired by the playful and cheeky names, along with the delightful flavours from Contentious Character’s wine list and the bold flavours of Underground Spirits.

Floriade Exclusive Truffle Creations

Rosé Truffle – crafted with Contentious Character’s She’ll Be Rosé
Prosecco Truffle – infused with Bubbly Smugglers
Shiraz Truffle – rich and decadent, featuring Holy Shi*raz
Espresso Martini Truffle – made with Underground Spirits Caramel Vodka

Each truffle is lovingly handmade, bringing together the finest couverture chocolate with unique local flavours, creating a taste experience that’s indulgent, cheeky, and unforgettable.

Why Canberra Artisan Chocolate Stands Out

We believe chocolate should be more than just a sweet treat, it should be an experience. That’s why our artisan chocolates are crafted with care, using sustainably sourced cocoa and high-quality local ingredients. Whether you’re visiting Floriade or exploring Canberra’s food and wine region, our chocolates are a must-try for anyone seeking gourmet chocolate in Australia.

Because life’s too short for ordinary chocolate.
