A candy heaven is the playground-like Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, which is roughly an hour's drive from San Francisco. On a raised viewing platform, it provides free, quarter mile-long self-guided tours where visitors may observe the process of creating candy. Along with interactive exhibitions, you may sample free conventional and experimental varieties like fruity-sour-apple and birthday cake, as well as flavors from "flavor collections" like Krispy Kreme, Cocktail Classics, BeanBoozled, and Bertie Bott's from the Harry Potter series. Also, don't miss the Jelly Belly Jellybean Art Gallery, where jellybeans are used to recreate iconic works of art including the Mona Lisa and Van Gogh's Starry Night. Go to the Jelly Belly Café afterwards for bean-shaped pizzas, burgers, garlic fries, and more.
You can pay extra to take the Jelly Belly University Tour, which is conducted by a Dean of the Bean, for a master's program in candy-making. To go behind the scenes and observe skilled confectioners at work, you will need to dress in a white lab coat, a hairnet, and gloves (no sandals, flip-flops, or high heels are permitted). If chocolate is more your style when it comes to sweet treats, you're in for a treat: daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Chocolate & Wine Experiences are available, with six local vintner wines and chocolate treats from the Jelly Belly Chocolate Shoppe.
