🍫 Makana Confections
This artisan chocolate factory in Kerikeri is a must-visit. Watch chocolatiers at work through the glass window and enjoy free tastings — the hazelnut toffee crunch and dark chocolate truffles are favourites.
Makana has two boutique chocolate factories: one in Kerikeri (Bay of Islands) and one in Blenheim (Marlborough Wine Trail). Both offer tasting, viewing, and shopping from 9am–5:30pm daily. The Makana Chocolate Café in Kerikeri is currently closed.
