Step inside a real, working chocolate factory in St. Davids, Niagara. On the St Davids Chocolate Factory Tour you can watch chocolates being made — from melting and refining to moulding and packaging — then shop direct at our factory outlet store.
What you'll see on the factory tour
- Watch real chocolate production — melting, refining, tempering, moulding, and packaging, all on the factory floor.
- See our team craft premium chocolate and cocoa products by hand and by machine.
- Learn how different chocolates are made — curious about the difference between couverture and compound chocolate? We make both.
- A genuine working factory, not a staged demo — every visit is a little different.
A real chocolate factory experience in Niagara
There are a few ways to see chocolate being made in the Niagara region. Ours is the working production floor of a manufacturer that supplies bakeries, confectioners and food producers across Canada, so what you watch is a batch that someone has ordered, not a display run. The tour is free, it takes no booking for individuals and families, and it ends in the factory's own outlet store. We've written up what to expect from the St. Davids chocolate factory experience in more detail, including how to fit it into a wine-country day. If you'd like to know what each stage on the floor is actually doing, start with how chocolate is made and why chocolate has to be tempered.
After the tour: the factory outlet store
Finish your visit at the factory outlet store and buy fresh chocolate and cocoa products direct from the source, at factory-direct value. From premium chocolate to bulk supply for bakers and confectioners, it's all made right here in St. Davids.
