Godiva was founded in 1926 in Belgium by the Draps family who opened their first shop in the Grand Place in Brussels under its present name, in honour of the legend of Lady Godiva. The first shop outside Belgium was opened in Paris on the Rue Saint Honoré in 1958.
Since those humble beginnings, Godiva has risen to become the official chocolatier to the Belgian Royal Court, gaining a reputation for mastery across the globe.
Now, we invite each and every one of you to experience the legend for yourself.

Looking around Chocolatier Australia's Melbourne-based state-of-the-art manufacturing facility or when you enjoy sampling new products in either of their retail stores, it's hard to imagine where and how it all started.
When opening a small chocolate store out of a disused suburban post office in 1985, the two elder Grisold brothers, David & John, had a great vision: To manufacture premium chocolates using the world's finest ingredients backed by outstanding customer service.
At that time they spied a niche in the Australian market for producing European styled pralines and hand-moulded chocolates using the finest Belgian couveture. They were starting a world-class chocolate business.
Since that time the brothers have remained true to that vision and Chocolatier Australia has become famous for delivering it.
Family and friends were co-opted to help supply the growing number of 5-Star hotels, restaurants and caterers who were keen for the product. The business grew and developing products for key national retailers - Myer, David Jones - and dedicated chocolate shops, gourmet delis and specialty food outlets.
Over the years the production capacity has increased significantly. Initially John lead production of up to 1000 fine, hand-made chocolates per day. Moving forward twenty-five years, and with younger brother Mark overseeing production, Chocolatier Australia now produces more than 500,000 beautiful European chocolates every week.
We are a proudly Australian owned and operated family business.
