Chocolate Factory Tours

November 6, 2018 By Thaleia 1 Comment

Since we live in a state with multiple Chocolate Factory Tours I thought it might be fun to share each one. Hopefully we will be able to visit a new one this year as part of our Botany curriculum! Eldest and Princess have visited Anthony Thomas Candy Company in Columbus and have sampled chocolates from Winans Chocolates and Coffees many times. Unfortunately Ester Price Candies in Dayton no longer gives tours but they are listed under the virtual tour section since they have a video about their chocolate production.

Virtual Chocolate Factory Tours

A few smaller chocolate companies do not offer factory tours at this time but have created virtual tours that you can watch which I have included below.

Aglamesis Bro’s Ice Cream and Candy located in Cincinnati has been around for over 100 years starting out with ice cream and then adding candy. You can read about their companies unique history on their website page called History of Aglamesis Brothers.

 

Coblentz Chocolate Company located in Walnut Creek began just a short time ago in 1987. You can watch how they make their chocolate is made with a virtual tour by Jason Coblentz.

 

Ester Price was a name that I grew up with since their headquarters are in Dayton. You can watch a short video on Youtube about how they make Ester Price chocolates.

 

Golden Turtle Chocolate Factory located in Lebanon offers a video on a tv in their sales room but it’s not view able online at this time. They have a few short videos on their facebook page. Read the history of Ester Price on their website.
