About us
Crafted by passion, inspired by nature
Our handcrafted products are inspired by the beauty of New Zealand’s Southern Lakes, the warmth of our Argentinian roots, and the timeless traditions of our Italian heritage. All three are connected by the 45th parallel – a line that unites not just places, but people, stories, and flavours.
“Delicious ice cream! Got the banana split and marscapone with berries in a cone. Both flavors were delicious and tasted as I would hope. Great to walk around the river with on a nice day.”– OSCAR, ARROWTOWN
“Absolutely delightful! Right on the lakefront, Patagonia Chocolates is a must for sweet lovers. Their rich, handcrafted chocolates come in an impressive range, but the real star is the ice cream—especially the creamy dulce de leche and hazelnut, best enjoyed with stunning lake and mountain views.”– ARJUN, QUEENSTOWN
“Absolutely divine and love this place so much I went twice during our 3 day stay in Wanaka. The hot choc, mochas and ice creams are delicious and worth the price. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, service was great and luckily not long queues on both visits."– MAHUYNH, WANAKA
