Get your caffeine fix as you enjoy a "bean to cup" experience of the delectable hot joe on a private tour that lets you escape the hassle of large crowds and assures personal attention. After that stimulating experience, follow your guide to the Wellington Chocolate Factory and dig into the sinfully tempting artisan chocolates. On Saturdays, you can also enjoy a tour of the Chocolate Factory to learn how cocoa is grown and turned into decadent premium coffee.

Then, proceed to sit down for lunch at an award-winning local restaurant. Saturdays and Sundays will take you to the Shepherd Restaurant - a long-time favorite destination for food lovers due to its use of fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. Plus, the cozy setting, eye-catching presentation, and great flavors will surely bowl you over. Get a close look at the kitchen staff in action as you take a seat up at the pass.
