Anaheim is bursting with experiences, and nothing gets you closer to a beloved (or new to you!) tasty product than a backstage tour. The Bakery Tour, hosted by Boudin Bakery at Disney California Adventure Park, Pacific Wharf in Anaheim, is a delectable experience you’ll never forget. Get behind the scenes of the bakery that’s been bustling since 1849. Schedule a tour online and learn about the emigrants that founded Boudin, the science behind the perfect loaf, and walk the 40-foot catwalk to get an aerial view of the bakers at work.
The ChocXO Bean to Bar Tour is a must at this mouthwatering destination. Sign up for a group tour or book a private tour, the perfect outing for Valentine’s Day. They’re known for clean ingredients and responsible portion sizes when it comes to European chocolates. Enjoy organic squares and truffles during the factory tour where you’ll see the best chocolatiers turn direct trade cacao beans into creamy sensations.
A Real Tour de Force
Huy Fong Foods Inc. offers tours in English, Spanish, and Mandarin. Learn about the rich Chinese food traditions in Southern California from one of the biggest manufacturers of high-quality products. The Ultimate Sriracha Tour is one of the most popular, available on weekdays only when there’s no chili grinding happening (which is a must if you’re not used to those hot fumes!).
Need to unwind with some local Yakult as a healthy sweet treat? The company’s first US factory is in nearby Fountain Valley and is responsible for making 400,000 bottles a day. Both Yakult and Yakult Light are bottled right here, and you can tour the cutting-edge facility to learn how your favorite probiotic is made. Filling, sealing, and packaging these iconic little bottles is mesmerizing, and reservations are required.
