For many years we  had seen and tasted Lake Champlain Chocolates in Vermont. We did not know, however, that they have been made in Burlington for thirty years, and that one could view the factory.

Since we had time, and of course, interest, in seeing candy production, we found our way to 750 Pine Street. In what looks like an office building we found a store/factory, offering a “tour.”  I would call this more of an informational viewing. While seated on chairs on a platform overlooking a floor-to-ceiling glass-walled production area, a person explains the history and the process of their chocolate making. This talk is interspersed with short videos and delicious samplings of the varieties of chocolates they make.  The viewing area is easily accessible via a wide ramp.

After the viewing it was simply impossible to leave without a purchase in the store area.  Whether it is  “seconds,” or one of the other beautiful confections, all are equally delicious!

Multi-stall, handicapped-accessible restrooms are available on the main level.

As always, we at Destination Accessible advise you to check a venue’s website, www.lakechamplainchocolates.com, when planning a visit, to “know before you go.”
