My family visited Whetstone today and had a wonderful time. We purchased tickets at Red Sightseeing Train which cost $7.00 ea. We had a great tour guide named Josh. He gave us a lot of information and a lot of samples to try. We recommend making this one of your stops in the beautiful city of St. Augustine. It's definitely... More

We visited Whetstone on a rainy weekend in St. Augustine. It was one of the highlights of the trip. We were a group of four on a girls' weekend so chocolate was a big deal for us! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the samples.

One of the highlights of the trip was visiting this lovely choclate factory.....we had a excellent tour guide as she truly enjoyed her work. Very surprised to learn that they only have 6 employes working the factory, many there for years. It is such a hands on factory and you can taste the results....highly reccomended.

My hubby and I have visited St. Augustine several times, but had never been to the chocolate factory before so we decided to give it a try. We had a very good time. Mac was a good tour guide and we learned several things about the making of chocolate and the qualities of chocolate that we had never known before.... More

Excellent tour. We learned the history of Whetstone Chocolate. We were amazed to find out how much Whetstone influenced the chocolate industry. And, free samples....and a $2 off coupon to use in the store after taking the tour. Win! Win!

Twenty five members of Corpus Christi Ladies Guild toured the Whetstone Chocolate Factory on 5/8/13. We all agreed that we had a marvelous time. We learned how cocoa powder comes into being from the trees the pods grow on right to the finished products. The Whetstone products are all made by hand, using some very old equipment and some state... More

Looking for something a little different to do in St. Augustine? This is a nice way to spend an hour. Stop by the Trolley station and get a discount ticket for this and any of your other sightseeing stops first. Then come here. You learn about the various types of chocolate, where they come from and how they are processed... More

Being a former teacher, our guide Patricia made the experience fun and memorable. Taste testing all the different chocolates were yummy. I personally never liked dark chocolate, but this dark chocolate is different and smooth. Our kids and grandkids recommended the tour. I would also recommend this tour which last about one hour.

My husband I greatly enjoyed the tour and we found it very informative! Our tour guide, Josh, was adorable and his enthusiasm for chocolate was contagious. We have a much greater appreciate for chocolate now and want to do other tours of this kind. Our favorite tour of the weekend! Kids would enjoy too! Reasonably priced, though you will want... More
