How did we get this sweet?

Our Journey: From California to Melbourne

After a transformative seven-year sojourn in Northern California, immersed in a vibrant food and wine culture, Christina returned to Melbourne, energised to redefine the traditional chocolate experience. Her vision was clear: to merge her profound love of design with her passion for chocolate, creating not just products, but chocolate experiences that push the boundaries of culinary art. The robust food scene in Kyneton, reminiscent of California’s wine country, continues to inspire Christina’s creativity and innovation in chocolate-making.

The name Sisko is a play on the …cisco of San Francisco 

Also the Sis is the last 3 letters of my married name and Ko the first 2 of my maiden name. It was a combination of those letters that I came up with Sisko. It has a connection to who I am and where I have been.
