Heaven for chocolate lovers in Wellington this weekend

From Nights, 10:30 pm on 18 June 2024

Thousands of chocolate lovers will be descending on the capital this weekend for the return of culinary festival Chocstock.

And while you best believe there will be ultimate brownie bake-offs and beer and chocolate pairing sessions, it's also a rare opportunity for chocolate makers from across the Pacific to come together and discuss the region's burgeoning craft chocolate industry.

Co-founder of Chocstock Luke Owen-Smith joins Emile Donovan.
