Wednesday evenings 6.30-8pm / Location: Messina HQ, Marrickville

Come behind the scenes and see where the magic happens. Located at our shiny new Marrickville home, you'll be taken on an interactive behind-the-scenes tour of our headquarters where all Messina products are made.

At Messina, we are passionate, verging obsessive about the creative process. We make all our gelato, cakes, additions, and chocolate from scratch using the best possible ingredients we can get our hands on. Feels like everyone says the same thing these days, but we want to show you just how far we go to make what we think is arguably the best gelato on the planet.

• Meet in our new Messina Creative restaurant for a welcome drink, snack and to dump your bags after a long day at the office.
• We'll start with a tour of the store, then it's time to get your hairnet on and go inside the factory!
• Our chefs will explain how we make our gelato jussst so, how we come up with famous 'Messina Specials' and OF COURSE there will be tastings involved so make sure you come hungry. You'll get to see everything we use to make our gelato and our very own Dulce de Leche machine.
• Ever wondered how we make the famous Dr Evil's Magic Mushroom cake? Now's your time to poke your head in the freezer and find out exactly how. Plus there'll be a chance to glaze a cake in an interactive demo, and eat a slice.
• Next, we'll head into our custom-built Chocolate Room where you'll see our chocolate being made and get to sample the goods.
• If you're not full yet, it's back to the store to try gelato fresh from our churning machine, and to choose your flavours for your take-home 500ml tub, you'll also receive a 'Messina the Recipes' book.
