Maeve Chocolate, Tukwila
The bright colors and big machines at the factory for Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolate) give it an especially Wonka-esque feel, but the tour is a serious learning experience. From the hot pink mezzanine, visitors are given a start-to-finish bird’s-eye view of the creation of the factory’s Pacific Northwest–inspired truffles and bars. As always, there are tasting samples involved. Note: Kids younger than 6 are not allowed on the tour.
Tip: Check the calendar for seasonal special events. (And note that the machines do not operate on Fridays, Saturdays or holidays.)
