Guided Tour & Tasting

We are now offering tours of our production facility and guided tasting every Monday - Friday at 11 am for only $10/person. Click here to reserve your spot.

You will be able to watch as our chocolatiers are in production in our kitchen, observe various chocolates being made and learn how hand-crafted, artisan chocolates and confections are made at Charles Chocolates--all while sampling 5 different chocolates and the hot chocolate that we make. The tour will end with an interactive questions and answer session.

While you won't be able to walk through our kitchen (for health and safety reasons), you will gain a much more comprehensive view of all the different processes that occur to make one piece of chocolate.

We look forward to hosting you and answering your questions.
