Well spent time at Whetstones chocolate factory in St Augustine, Fla. Small chocolate factory making high chocolate and fudge. Located a short walk from the historic district. Tiffany was our tour guide and she was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about chocolate and their production methods. Learned a lot about chocolate we did not now and the chocolate was quite good.

Toured yesterday. Hubby, me, 2 kids (15 & 11), and the grandparents. Tiffany was our guide. She is a relatively new guide but you couldn't tell. She did a GRAT job! Kept us engaged and answered all our questions. Tasted white, milk, 2 kinds of dark, & a specialty chocolate. The specialty one is whatever they have been making. On... More

We enjoyed our tour of Whetstone's Chocolate Factory, as well as the samples of chocolate given to us on the tour. Our guide was good at explaining the chocolate making process, as well as the differences between the chocolate. And, she was quite pleasant. The only disappointment was that the factory was very quiet at the time of our tour;... More

We were in the area and went on this tour. Tiffany our tour guide was very knowledgable and helpful when asked questions. It was fun learning about the different types of candy especially the free samples.. End up spending over 50 on candy.. Was fun and informative

This was definitely one of our top stops! You can call ahead and reserve a spot for a certain tour time. You begin the tour by watching a short video about chocolate. Then, the group walks over to another building where the cholocate is made. You sit in chairs while the guide informs you about chocolate ingredients. Here, we tried... More

Fabulous tour and tasting at the Whetstone Chocolate Factory! Definitely should call ahead for reservations, however. We didn't and had to wait a bit! Certainly worth the wait. It was a good educational tour wherein we learned a lot about making chocolate and got to taste several varieties. The tour through the factory provided us with a freshly made chocolate!... More
