Melt in your mouth aromas greet you at the door to the 750 Pine
Street factory & café, where visitors satisfy all their senses
while learning the story “from bean to chocolate to you.”
Knowledgeable, friendly tour guides explain the history of the
company as well as cocoa bean growing, harvesting, fermenting,
conching, tempering, and molding. Favorite processes to watch
are chocolate enrobing, depositing, molding, packaging, and hand
painting of the chocolates. For those who can’t travel to
Vermont, an online version of the tour is at
