The Chocolate Factory Tour In Michigan That’s Everything You’ve Dreamed Of And More

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who’s not a fan of chocolate. Whether you love the silky smoothness of milk chocolate, the rich taste of dark chocolate, or the creamy sweetness of white chocolate, there’s a perfectly delicious option for everyone. Can you imagine any place sweeter than a chocolate factory, where all of your sugary dreams come to life? Thankfully, Michigan is home to one such factory — and they’d love to show you around.

Chocolates by Grimaldi is located at 219 North 7th Street in Grand Haven.

Since 2012, this sweet factory and shop has delighted visitors of all ages.

Chocolates by Grimaldi prides itself on creating gourmet chocolates with all sorts of local, non-artificial ingredients. One look at their sugary options will have your mouth watering.

The shop is especially well-known for its Chips ’N Chocolate, a delightfully unique combination of salty potato chips and smooth, rich milk chocolate.

Intrigued by the chocolate-making process? You’re in luck. Chocolates by Grimaldi offers tours Monday through Friday for groups of all sizes.

You’ll have the unique opportunity to watch the production of gourmet chocolates from beginning to end — it’s like your own real-life Willy Wonka experience!

Learn about the earliest moments of a chocolate product’s life, which starts with a simple bean. A tour of Chocolates by Grimaldi is both informative and fun.

Watch the experts at work with a glimpse at the on-site production line… and even taste a sample or two as the shop’s sweet treats emerge!

Remember that iconic chocolate-eating scene from "I Love Lucy?" You’ll have the chance to see the shop’s 1950s-style enrober, just like the one used in the legendary episode.

When your tour is complete, the real fun begins: peruse the shop and decide which heavenly treats you’ll take home. This is one sweet experience you simply can’t miss.

Tours cost just $4.00 per person and should be scheduled in advance. For more information or to take a virtual tour, click here to visit Chocolate by Grimaldi’s website.
