2024-25 TRAVEL GUIDE TO CALIFORNIA 43
I
f you're a fan of Jelly Belly's extra-
ordinary jelly bean flavors, such as
Margarita or Toasted Marshmallow, head
to the Visitor Center, found half-way
between San Francisco and Sacramento.
While there, take the self-guided Factory
Tour that follows an elevated quarter-mile
tour lane for a bird's-eye view of the opera-
tion below. HD videos explain the process
and, for more enjoyment, you can play a
couple of interactive games. In addition, the
tour now includes a ride on the Jelly Belly
Express (weather/staffing permitting) to the
new Jelly Belly Museum, a whimsical and
interactive experience on the history of
candy-making processes and the growth of
the Jelly Belly Candy Company.
The Visitor Center also features a large
candy store, with a wide variety of Jelly
Belly flavors and candies. And the Jelly Belly
Café serves both breakfast and lunch,
offering unique menu items such as bean-
shaped burgers and pizza.
Be sure to view the collection of framed
works displayed in the Bean Art Gallery
with mosaics crafted by talented artists
using only Jelly Belly jelly beans.
Since Jelly Belly also makes high-quality
chocolates, stop by the Chocolate Shoppe
and Fudge Counter. Or book a Chocolate
& Wine Experience, which perfectly pairs
local Suisun Valley wines with handmade
chocolates.
To experience the factory tour, head to:
1 Jelly Belly Lane in Fairfield, CA. Tour tickets
cost $7 for adults and $3 for children.
