Tours

Every year, people from all over the country come to learn about our process of making the “World’s Best Gummies” and chocolates.  What makes us unique is that we are the only company that offers a public tour for gummies’ manufacturing in the USA.  You’ll get to view our Gummi Factory through 10 separate windows and see two videos explaining the creation of our gummies and a video featuring our Gold Label Chocolates.  Albanese tours are a great way for people of all ages to add a little fun and knowledge to their day.  

Our tours are designed for people of all ages and the factory is wheelchair accessible.  We offer two types of tours – guided group tours or self-guided tours, geared toward the individual visitor.  Both types of tours are FREE. The guided tours are designed for groups of 12 or more, buses, or large families.  A tour guide is provided to give an introduction to our company, explain the machinery used to create our gummies, and to share samples of both gummies and chocolates with your group.  The self-guided tour allows you to view the factory on your own and then sample our candy at the conclusion of your own tour.  Depending on attendance levels, tours typically take between 30 – 50 minutes.

Public tours are available any time during store business hours with no reservation required.  From Mid-November - December, no tours will be given.  Santa visits us every year during that time. Group tours must be scheduled in advance with our Tour Director.   Group tours are available Tuesday – Thursday between the hours of 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM.  To schedule, call (219) 942-1877, ext. 244 or e-mail us at retail@albaneseconfectionery.com.
