One of our Chocolate Jedi Knights will guide you through the tasting notes of five bars made at our factory. This flight includes five pieces of chocolates per person. Then you'll get walked to the production room, where you can see the different machines and learn about what each one does to make delicious small-batch bean-to-bar chocolate!

Chocolate substitutions allowed in the case of allergies or dietary restrictions.

Palate cleansers are included in this experience. We recommend ages 14+ for this experience.


What People Say

"We really enjoyed the tour and learned more about not only what goes into the process of making chocolate, but also the sustainable process. The tasting was very well choreographed. It reminded us of some high-quality bourbon tastings. We learned how to savor the taste, and how different types of chocolate are made. Highly recommended!" - Paulette F.

"We had an awesome time during the chocolate tasting at River-Sea. Our tour guide, Eli, was absolutely amazing and extremely knowledgeable. Eli kept us entertained the entire time as we learned in great detail about the chocolate making process. My wife and I tasted numerous dark, milk, and white chocolates and truly appreciated learning how to do a proper chocolate tasting. The chocolate itself was made of very few ingredients, yet everything was very tasty - much better than the large brands. My wife and I really did not know what to expect but we were extremely impressed by the tour. We highly recommend it!" - Umber A.
