There are all kinds of unique tours you can enjoy in Virginia, yet none are quite as unique and delightful as Red Rocker Candy Factory. This authentic candy factory will give you insight into how their delicious candy is created. Located just east of Charlottesville, this unique factory produces small-batch candies that you can see being made right through the factory window. It’s a delightful pit stop or road trip destination, no matter how far the drive. Here’s more on this wonderfully whimsical candy factory tour in Virginia.
The Red Rocker Candy Store is a delightful attraction in central Virginia that can be found in the small town of Troy, Virginia. The factory was started in the basement of the current owners, who wanted a way to make toffees for their friends and families.
Today, the factory has expanded into a larger operation, though it is still quite small for a factory. That's what gives the space such charm; you'll feel like you're visiting dear friends when you step inside this cozy family-run business.
In addition to browsing all sorts of delicious chocolates and candies, you'll have the unique experience to "tour" the factory by watching what goes on behind the scenes through the observation window.
It's in the candy-making factory that all the magic happens. You'll be mesmerized as you watch an assembly line of delicious treats and confections whirl by. Photographed below are the specialty Oreos topped with lemon frosting.
Throughout the year, Red Rocker offers activities for the kids. Bring in the little ones for a make-your-own-chocolate pizza with all sorts of delicious toppings.
One thing's for sure: you don't want to leave this incredible candy shop empty handed! Be sure to stock up on your favorites and share the love with your friends and family.
