Jelly Belly Launches Private Tours of Candy Factory in Fairfield

The tour begins when visitors don white coats, gloves and hairnets before setting out on the tour. After all this is a real working factory and cleanliness has the highest priority. Soon they find themselves in the heart of the candy making and watch while master confectioners create the shell on a Jelly Belly bean.

At the end of the one-hour tour visitors are awarded a Degree of Beanology T-shirt and a discount card for shopping in the store.

These special tours will be limited to groups of 6 and will cost $47 each. They will continue to offer the free tours (that utilize an overhead view of the factory floor instead of hands-on).

I’ve had a private tour of the JB factory and have to say that it was amazing. Simply being able to experience the heat and smell and sounds up close brings so much more dimension.
