Whetstone Chocolates, Inc. is a chocolatier and tour operator based in St. Augustine. The company offers guided chocolate experiences that introduce visitors to chocolate making, tasting, and freshly made confections. Whetstone Chocolates' signature offering is the Chocolate Tasting Tour, presented as St. Augustine’s “Original Chocolate Tour.” That experience features a four-tiered tasting of dark, milk, and white chocolates alongside freshly made confections for an immersive tasting session tailored to chocolate enthusiasts.
In addition to the full tasting tour, Whetstone Chocolates provides a Mini Taste Tour designed for shorter visits. The Mini Taste Tour includes a guided factory tour that explains the chocolate-making process and offers samples of four unique chocolate flavors. This shorter experience typically lasts 20–25 minutes, making it suitable for visitors with limited time.
Both experiences emphasize on-site production and direct engagement with chocolatiers, allowing guests to see elements of confection creation and to taste products made in-house. Whetstone Chocolates focuses on artisan techniques and hands-on demonstrations during tours. Visitors learn about ingredients and flavor profiles while sampling a curated selection of chocolates.
