GUIDED WALK
Walk through our historic brick 16th Street factory with an expert Chocolate Educator: View our entire production line, and enjoy plenty of samples, from fresh cacao pulp to finished chocolate. Machines may or may not be running during your visit, and you are always sure to catch the aroma of freshly roasted cocoa beans and chocolate. In many cases, we will have the factory to ourselves; we'll dive deeper into chocolate history, as well as our own sourcing and production processes. Either way, expect lots of chocolate to taste along the way.
Please anticipate high levels of noise at certain parts of the tour when visiting during operating hours. Ear plugs are provided upon request.

Inspired by our heroes at The Moth, we are hosting our own storytelling event here at the factory. If you’re excited about connecting with community through storytelling, we welcome you to come share your own tales with an audience. For our inaugural event, we are looking for stories about a “First Time” that includes a chocolate component: a first date that ended with chocolate cake; the first dessert you made with your grandma; the first time you got pied in the face … (Just make sure your story is true.) If you aren’t too comfy in front of a crowd, join as a listener and be ready to support your presenters. Our café will be open, serving hot chocolate, coffee, wine, and other treats.
