Nice tour… enjoyed the history - The shop was adorable and the factor was a step back in time. I enjoyed hearing the history of the factory and founder. Husband enjoyed the bourbon balls… and I grabbed a small box of assorted chocolates for the road.

Worth the time - Wonderful overview of the history, a trip thru the factory, a short movie and a sample! What more could you ask?

A wonderful visit to Frankfort, KY - The tour is great because all of employees are very friendly, even while they are working on making wonderful chocolate. The store staff is also very helpful. The Capitol Building of Kentucky and a few restaurants are within walking distance. The Frankfort Trolley also has a stop outside the front door.

Sweet tour! - Nice quick tour. Very informative and interesting. Been meaning to do it for a while now. Candy is awesome, of course! We went on a Saturday when there was no production going on. Would recommend going on the tour while there is production going, if possible. Still very interesting and enjoyable.

Delightful stop on a trip - The tour guide,Liz, was a delight. They had a very quick wit and told the history of the place with interesting information and humor. Candy facility is small but adorable and worth the stop.
