Hi, I’m Wendy Alford, the owner and Master Chocolatier of Tocumwal Chocolate School. This little corner of paradise has been my dream for over 15 years—a place where I could combine my love of chocolate, food, and connecting with people. Now, it’s a reality, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. To me, chocolate is more than just food—it’s about creating moments of joy and connection. That’s why I love teaching classes, from the basics of tempering to crafting unique flavour combinations. Whether you’re a beginner or a chocolate enthusiast, my goal is to make you feel welcome and inspired. Our property reflects everything I value: comfort, tranquillity, and little touches that make a stay special. From the luxurious suites to our glamping option, I’ve created a space where you can slow down, savour the moment, and leave with memories as sweet as the chocolate. I can’t wait to welcome you to Tocumwal Chocolate School, where passion, creativity, and a love for life’s simple pleasures come together.
