Our bean-to-bar chocolate factory and tasting room was established in 2012 to hand craft chocolate from cocoa beans we import directly from the source. We offer weekly Saturday factory tours, by reservation, in which you learn about cacao cultivation and processing, and our artisan methods of chocolate production. Our retail is open daily 12-6, offering truffles, bars and other chocolate products made completely on site. We offer self-guided tours 2:30-5:30. Come see how we make chocolate!

Took my family here on a recent tip to Asheville. There was a line when we arrived… seems like there’s always a line but it was only a 10 minute wait or so. The staff was courteous and efficient.

We got a salted caramel brownie and a chocolate dipped peanut butter cookie. Both were excellent. Additionally, my kids got hot chocolate, I got a mocha, and my husband got a brevé. The sweets were more of a hit with us than our drinks.

It was crowded when we visited. If you can find a less busy time to come, I think it would be a lovely place to spend time. In general, it’s probably more geared towards adults than families with young kids.

All in all, I’m glad we went because I had wanted to visit on another trip but had not because of the line. It’s worth a visit. (Next on my wish list is to take their chocolate making your at their factory located 5 minutes from their store.)
