Mrs. Hanes Moravian Cookie factory is located in Clemmons, North Carolina, approximately 20 miles southwest of Winston-Salem.
The family-run business has a long history of Moravian cookie makers. Those on site today are the seventh and eighth generations that have passed down the art of making magical Moravian cookies.
The tour lasts approximately one hour and must be scheduled in advance. (No walk-up tours allowed, please.) You'll discover the secrets to producing such a large amount of orders... one of which is a giant mixer than can hold enough dough for 1,000 cookies!
Tours are available to groups (gather up several of your friends) from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday from January through October. Tours must be scheduled in advance. To schedule a tour, call 336-764-1402. The cost is $5 per person. The walk-in sales counter at the factory is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
