If your childhood dreams involved a chocolate river and a purple top hat, this is about as close as you’ll get in the 919.
Escazú Chocolates is pulling back the curtain on its bean-to-bar magic for an exclusive factory tour. On Saturday, May 9, 2026, you can go behind the scenes at their Crabtree Boulevard facility to see how raw cacao is transformed into award-winning confections. It’s an aromatic deep dive that proves there is way more to your favorite dessert than just a wrapper.
Led by one of the owners, this tour covers the entire process from the farm to the finished bar, featuring six different tastes along the way. Because this is a working production facility, you’ll need to leave the flip-flops at home and rock a hairnet—but consider it a small price to pay for peak freshness. After the tour, grab a scoop of their house-made ice cream to celebrate your newfound chocolate expertise.
📍 2409 Crabtree Blvd, Suite 124, Raleigh, NC 27604
📅 Saturday, May 9, 2026 | 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
💰 $25 per person (Ages 10+ only)
