About

A real, working chocolate factory on the shores of Lough Derg, where you can walk in free, watch the chocolatiers at work and make your own bar.

Things to Do

Inside the working factory

Entry is free and the factory is open to the public Monday to Saturday. It is not a scripted tour, so you see whatever is actually happening that day - bars or truffles in production, or packing and cleaning. Allow 30 to 60 minutes.
