A bit of Willy Wonka
has arrived in the Yarra Valley - this is the perfect winery break for the kids. Brightly uni-
formed staff carry trays piled high with free samples made with imported Belgian chocol-
ate and you can watch the European chocolatiers at work through floor-to-ceiling glass
windows. The Bushtucker range makes for great souvenirs.
