See how chocolate is made

Taza’s chocolate tours are a bean-to-bar adventure into the world of chocolate making and sampling! For chocoholics, chocolate makes the world go 'round'. That’s why there’s no better way to celebrate your love of the sweet stuff than indulging in an afternoon filled with gooey vats of melted chocolate and mountains of free samples. This Massachusetts chocolate factory will give you exactly that.

Taza makes stone ground chocolate that is unlike any chocolate you've ever eaten. To grind cacao beans, they use hand-carved granite millstones. This gives their chocolate a distinct, gritty texture and bold flavor that you won't find anywhere else. On this tour, you'll see the chocolate being ground by special millstones and learn about the history of chocolate-making. Because the Taza factory is small, you'll be able to ask questions and get a real, up-close look at the chocolatey action.

The Chocolate Guides will provide you with an abundance of chocolate samples, making this the ideal way to satisfy both your curiosity and your sweet tooth. Tours are available every week from Wednesday to Sunday, giving you the opportunity to enjoy a delicious and educational activity for only $12. You should definitely register in advance online because they frequently sell out. Taza also has a brand new cocoa classroom where they do unique tasting panels and offer a host of kid-friendly story-time chocolate events that are sure to intrigue and wow. You can check out their tour website for full information.

Price Ranges: $12 per tour
