Federation Chocolate

Federation Chocolate is a chocolate factory and museum at Taranna, on the Tasman Peninsula.

Federation Chocolate is a family-owned Tasmanian business producing fine handmade chocolates. In the Federation Chocolate Factory, opened in 2004, you can watch the fine art of chocolate making through purpose-built viewing windows.

Taste samples from the tempting range, including unusual varieties like liquorice and apple, and choose a few blocks of your favourite to take home.

You can also visit the Federation Heritage Museum, which celebrates the Tasman Peninsula's convict history, saw milling and blacksmithing industries in a display of historic artefacts, photographs and memorabilia.

The Museum itself has a number of historic features, including convict-cut sandstone, timber columns and beams salvaged from a colonial-era wharf and an elegant front door-restored with leadlight by a local artist-salvaged from a Federation house in Huonville.
