The choc "tour" is free at Scharffenberger! I was unable to go but I heard its a good look inside the factory, porbably thru windows due to health sanitizing laws. you may want to call ahead to reserve a spot and ask when exactly the factory is running. They have all the info at their website, sounds like a blast to do the tour and then eat at their cool cafe.....

Did you know Scharffenberger has a factory tour in Oakland, CA? and a choc cafe called Cacao i think...its on their website. How cool would it be to see that magic happen live in person...?!

Mer:Welcome to The Chocolate Life. You know, I've lived in the NY area for over 20 years and have been doing stuff with chocolate for more than a decade, and only met Rose for the first time last fall at my friend, Jean-Francois Bonnet's wedding. He used to be the exec-PC at Restaurant Daniel and is now at Tumbador, a private-label chocolate manufacturer in Brooklyn.I went to Williamsburg a couple of years ago and had dinner at Trellis. I was not blown away - but Marcel was not in the kitchen that night and maybe that's why. Do tell more about classes with Rose, won't you?
