Burlington, VT (PRWEB) June 7, 2005 -- Lake Champlain Chocolates (LCC)
announced today that it was named an Editors’ Choice in the Yankee Magazine
Travel Guide to New England, an honor reserved for noteworthy travel
destinations. Free guided factory tours are offered weekdays on the hour from

location.
Melt in your mouth aromas greet you at the door to the 750 Pine
Street factory & café, where visitors satisfy all their senses while
learning the story “from bean to chocolate to you.” Knowledgeable, friendly tour
guides explain the history of the company as well as cocoa bean growing,
harvesting, fermenting, conching, tempering, and molding. Favorite processes to
watch are chocolate enrobing, depositing, molding, packaging, and hand painting
of the chocolates. For those who can’t travel to Vermont, an online version of
the tour is at www.lakechamplainchocolates.com.
While learning how
chocolates are made, guests see and sample fresh, delicious confections made
right before their eyes. Throughout the year, visitors can experience live
chocolate-making demonstrations given by professional chocolatiers.
Demonstrations are currently scheduled for September 10, October 22, and
November 12, 2005 at 1:00 PM (call 802-864-1807 for additional dates and times).
In addition to general tips and advice on how to turn chocolate into delectable
treats, table tempering and shell molding are explained. Guests learn from
chocolatiers in a relaxed atmosphere, with the opportunity to have their
chocolate-making questions answered by a professional. Praised as “some of the
best chocolate in the country” by The New York Times, Lake Champlain Chocolates
are sought after and sold nationwide.
The Factory Store & Café
offers chocolates & confections, apparel, gift cards, and deep discounts on
slightly imperfect factory seconds. The café, which overlooks the chocolate
factory floor, offers hot and cold chocolate & espresso drinks, tea, brewed
coffee, and LCC All Natural Ice Cream.
