A new space to enjoy this summer in Barossa

The Barossa Valley Chocolate Company and Prancing Pony Brewery have joined forces to bring the Pony Stable to Barossa. From December 9, 2023 through to the end of Easter 2024, the Eastern Lawns of Barossa Valley Chocolate Company will be home to the Pony Stable, an outdoor space where people can enjoy views, Prancing Pony Brewery beers, a seasonal menu from Barossa Valley Chocolate Company’s Benni’s Café and even outdoor games in a family-friendly setting.

Both iconic South Australian businesses in their own right, with many accolades shared between them, they were a natural fit to match the flavoursome Pony beers with the delicious hand-crafted Barossa Valley Chocolate Company chocolates.

Prancing Pony Brewery’s CEO and Co-Founder Corinna Steeb, a Medical Scientist, loves to combine chocolate flavours with beer. “It is scientifically proven that the irresistible melt-in-the-mouth sensation of chocolate is created by a coating of the mouth which forms the perfect background to enhance the beer flavours,” Corinna says.

“When you eat the delicate Barossa Valley Chocolate Company’s Simply the Zest White Chocolate Praline and then sip on our Pale Ale, the fruity hoppy flavours are amplified,” explains Corinna, “or when you pair our Black Ale with the Golden Café Milk Chocolate Praline, the coffee flavours in the beer are lifted and you taste roasted malts and a slight bitterness comes through. I call it the one plus one equals three flavour experience.”
