Factory Tour
These are intimate tours and workshops hosted by Deanna, Jonathan and Émile in small groups in our factory where we create chocolate from the cocoa bean everyday.
The tours are conducted in our making areas and you’ll see the machines we use to roast, winnow and grind our beans and have an opportunity to ask questions throughout and, where processes allow, taste the chocolate as it changes from whole bean, through liquor, to chocolate.
It’s a far cry from factory tours offered by big commercial operators, you’ll be up close with real chocolate able and experience the smells and the sounds of our micro batch chocolate making process.
Starting with a delicious hot chocolate you’ll relax in our cafe before touring our production rooms with Deanna, Tosier’s owner, founder and lead chocolate maker, to learn about the ethos of the company and the art of transforming roasted cacao beans into delicious award-winning chocolate.
