This September, Sydney gets a taste of something truly iconic as Whittaker’s unwraps more than a century of chocolate history with World of Whittaker’s, an immersive, weekend-long celebration of New Zealand’s most beloved (and one of Australia’s favourite) chocolate brands.
Hosted at The Apartment at Chinatown Country Club, the experience runs from Saturday 13th to Sunday 14th September and offers fans the chance to dive deep into the brand’s rich heritage. Think free tastings of Whittaker’s signature blocks, the opportunity to create your very own Peanut Slab in honour of its 75th birthday, and a chance to discover how four generations of the Whittaker family have kept chocolate craftsmanship at the heart of their business for more than 125 years.
“We’re thrilled to bring the World of Whittaker’s to life in Australia,” says Holly Whittaker, co-COO of Whittaker’s. “This is an opportunity for chocolate lovers to connect with our brand and learn about our history, all while enjoying the chocolate that has been at the centre of what we do for generations.”
