Life is sweet like chocolate, even with few nuts like us! We took a tour at Fascia's Chocolate Factory in Waterbury This was a very informative and fun experience. We learned about the chocolate making process, had a tasting of the delicious samples, and we even got to make our own chocolate bars. I made mine a rainbow , no surprise there! I'll definitely be back for the chocolate and wine train tour

First off the beautiful aroma of chocolate hits you as soon as you walk in. Very pretty front lobby. Nice staff. My friends and I did the make your own chocolate bar experience and it was nice to learn about the process of making chocolate while making chocolate. Also very nice learning about the family business. Hope they have good business for many more years. There gelatos look amazing, didn t get to try this time but can t wait to go back in the summer for some. And lastly the chocolate bar I made was one of the best chocolate bars I ve ever had. Tasted rich and natural at the same time, if that makes any sense and melts in your mouth. Definitely taste the difference between other chocolate bars. And clean factory!

Chocolates are delectable and delights. I would absolutely come back and get chocolates. If I had one complaint it is an older woman behind counter. She was supervising a younger woman and she was not polite and had no customer service at all. She interrupted a few times saying these are more money.... I can read and understood first time.

Fascia chocolates tour was a fantastic experience lasting slightly more than 60 minutes. Mr.Carmen did a nice presentation on the history of the chocolate factory, laced with humor, video clips and a beautiful hands-on experience of making your own chocolate. My family and myself learnt quite a bit on how the chocolate bar is made - bean to bar to bag.
Terms like Tempering, Dark Chocolate properties, differences between a chocolatier from others, how to taste the chocolate the right way

We had our wedding favors done here in April and people are still raving!!! I went to fascias to ask questions and sample many times and everyone we encountered were so helpful and pleasant!! Definately recommend them as a favor that your guests will enjoy and your money will be well spent! Fascias is now tradition for any gifts for our mothers or myself :)

Fabulous selection of chocolate. Did the wine and chocolate decadence train ride. Pairings were perfect. Nice presentation at Fascia's, learned a lot about their process. Made some chocolate to take home. Fun!

Very disappointing experience. Staff see isis very unprofessional and unable to handle large groups. Owner is "proud" of her employees lack of education inability to provide adequate tours.

Furthermore, the chocolate is extremely overpriced for the quality. If you want to have a good time and enjoy a chocolate experience with fun and rides, I suggest Hershey Park.

Did the "Make Your Own Chocolate Bar" and it was fantastic. Not only did my kids and I learn how chocolate is made and taste testing. I recommend to anyone interested in trying something new.

I came here with a group of friends to participate in their chocolate bar making. It was great and well worth the time and price. The toppings they offered were good and the quality of the chocolate great. I highly recommend a visit.

Fascia's Chocolates has saved me on many occasions with last minute gifts. Mothers day, Christmas, Valentines day, my own personal need to indulge, etc. Every item I have bought has tasted amazing. They are the reason I will eat dark chocolate. I recommend the tour they offer. It has a lot of info about the company and chocolate itself, and is just fun!

This is a family owned and run shop! So interesting to see and hear about the chocolate making process! Then to sample chocolates, and such fun to make your own chocolate! This is the best chocolate ice had, and the people are friendly and knowledgeable.

Attended a tour and bar making, fun for the whole family. Very informative, one tip - it is not a walking tour, it is via video. You can see from numerous windows what is happening though.

We went on the chocolate experience tour today and it was very interesting and a lot of fun! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the family owned and operated company and the way chocolate is made- from bean to bar. We made our own chocolate bars and saw into the chocolate factory area which you can only see through the windows and via camera but it was still fun to see. It was about an hour long, perfect for a rainy day activity! The store itself is full of delicious chocolates and gelato. It is on the pricey side, but after witnessing how the chocolate is hand crafted with such care, I wouldn't feel guilty for dropping the extra money.

We were greeted by the wonderful aroma of good grade chocolate as we walked thru the door! The friendly, helpful staff was well prepared to assist our group as we got to make our own chocolate bar.
Next we were privileged to listen to an excellent presentation on chocolate - where it grows, how it is harvested and processed, and how it ends up in our hands as hot cocoa, brownies and candy.
Then we had the wonderful experience of shopping for our own treasured bag of candy to bring home and enjoy which I'm doing as I type this!
I highly recommend a trip to Fascia's Chocolates by any group looking for a unique fund raising experience!

Ohmigosh they have the most luxurious and satisfying chocolate you'll ever eat. The "tour" is fun and informative. It's absolutely worth doing the make-your-own chocolate bar tour.
Fully accessible. Friendly and helpful staff.

First time going to this place and I went on the tour and made my own chocolate bar. First off..... It's delicious but also you gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and science behind what goes into making good chocolate. Which would probably just further your love for it. Fascia's knows how to make chocolate and they let you peak behind the curtain. 10/10 Would recommend.

I took my kids for the tour today and what a great way to spend an afternoon! The tour was excellent and getting to see the factory was very cool. The samples and design your own chocolate bar were such a treat. The kids are already asking to go again.

This is a commercial operation and the products can't come close to an artisanal chocolatier - of which there more then a few in Connecticut. This is not worth the stop - think Russell Stover quality

Did a chocolate bar making event with my two daughters and 3 grandchildren (2, 4 and 7). It was great, we all loved it and the chocolate is delicious! Used a groupon, it was a great experience!
