Tasmania’s leading bean-to-bar, ethically crafted chocolate experience.

When people travel through Tasmania, they expect purity — crisp air, clean flavours, honest produce, and the kind of craftsmanship that only comes from makers who truly love what they do.

That’s exactly where Federation Artisan Chocolate fits.
Not as “just another chocolate shop,” but as part of Tasmania’s premium food story — a movement of makers who care deeply about origins, ethical sourcing, and authentic flavour.

🌱 A Chocolate Maker Rooted in Tasmanian Soil

Federation Artisan Chocolate lives in one of the most beautiful pockets of Tasmania:
Every Man and His Dog Vineyard in the Coal River Valley.

Here, the landscape shapes everything we do.

The vineyard, the seasons, the slow rhythm of rural life — they all influence our approach to chocolate. Visitors often say the chocolate “tastes like the place,” and they’re right. The fruitiness of Peruvian beans, the smokiness of PNG cacao, the way Tasmanian ingredients come alive in each batch — it all ties back to this valley.

We don’t copy European style.
We don’t mass-produce.
We create chocolate that feels undeniably Tasmanian.

🍫 Tasmania’s Leading Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Maker

Our point of difference is simple but rare:

We start with the cacao bean.

We roast it.
We refine it.
We conche it.
We craft chocolate from scratch in small, intentional batches.

This is known worldwide as bean-to-bar chocolate, and it’s where flavour becomes a craft, not a formula. It means every origin tells a story:

• Peru — bright, fruity, floral

• Ecuador — deep, earthy, complex

• Papua New Guinea — smoky and bold

Most chocolate in Australia begins as pre-made couverture.
Ours begins as raw cacao — still carrying the soil, climate and care of the farmers who grew it.

🌏 Ethical Chocolate With Real Human Connection

We choose farms and cooperatives that work with integrity:

• sustainable Peruvian cacao communities

• PNG smallholder farmers

• responsible Ecuadorian growers

It’s chocolate that respects people and land — a value Australians increasingly want in their food.

You taste the quality.
But you also feel the ethics.

🍷 Chocolate, Wine & Storytelling — A Tasmanian Experience

One of the reasons travellers love Federation Chocolate is that we don’t just hand over a chocolate bar.

We create experiences.

Our home at Every Man and His Dog Vineyard allows us to offer:

• BarCraft — pour your own chocolate block

• The Chocolate Whisperer — deep-dive tasting and origin storytelling

• Wine & Chocolate Pairings — a Coal River Valley specialty

• hands-on chocolate workshops

• immersive bean-to-bar educational tastings

This is experiential tourism — something Tasmania does better than anywhere else in Australia. And we’re proud to be part of that tradition.

🐕 A Family Business With Heart

Federation Chocolate is run by a small family —
Maurice, Helen, Rose, and Jax the Wine Dog.

Visitors meet the makers.
They hear the stories.
They take home chocolate that feels personal.

That authenticity is a kind of luxury you can’t manufacture.

🥘 Proud to Stand Among Tasmania’s Finest Produce

Tasmania is famous for world-class food and wine, and we’re proud to be part of that landscape.

We share the table with producers we deeply admire, such as:

• Ashgrove Dairy

• Forger Foods

• Honey Pot Honey

• Tas-Saff

• Westerway Raspberry Farm

• Hellfire Bluff Distillery

• Little Wood Berry Farm

These are makers who treat Tasmania’s bounty with respect, creativity, and passion — the same principles behind our chocolate.

When travellers seek the real taste of Tasmania, they look for artisans who honour place and process.
That’s why we proudly stand alongside these producers.

🎨 Innovation With a Tasmanian Soul

Our chocolate is always evolving, with creations that reflect seasonal ingredients and local inspiration:

• Coatibles™ — coated treats with a premium twist

• Tasmania-shaped chocolate bars

• Honeycomb Crack Packs

• Single-origin limited releases

• 100% cacao bars for the purists

• Chocolate + vineyard collaborations

Every product tells a story — and every story begins in Tasmania.
