Jelly Belly, a Factory Tour for Your Sweet Tooth

150 different sweet confections. Everything from blue raspberry to coffee. How can you not stop in to this factory on one of your RV adventures? We’re talking about theJelly Belly Factory, located in Fairfield, California. This factory tour is one for the kid in all of us. Did you know it takes a full week to make one, yes, ONE single jelly bean?? And to think we eat them by the handfuls!

The tour will last about 40 minutes and reservations are not required. You’ll want to check the website for hours and make sure that the factory is not undergoing inventory during the time you want to visit.  Most days the factory is open from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., except on New Years Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. They even offer RV parking! (although overnight parking is not allowed). If you have little ones, remember to bring a stroller and while pets are not allowed in the factory, there is a designated pet area outside the factory for your four legged family members.

You can also subscribe to Jelly Belly’s newsletter to be the first to hear about new treats coming your way! Jelly Belly has been a family business since  1869 when two brothers came to America from Germany. We wonder what they would think about all the crazy flavors the factory has to offer today! Speaking of crazy flavors….don’t forget to stop at the Jelly Belly candy store! You’ll want to head right to the  “Sample Bar” where you can try each and every flavor of Jelly Belly jelly beans that they make; along with any other new or favorite confection on the menu! Try them one at a time, or in combination to create a colorful and tasty recipe! You can also stop in at the Jelly Belly Café and enjoy a Jelly Belly shaped hamburger, cheeseburger, or a Jelly Belly bean-shaped pizza, or try one of their delicious sandwiches or salads.
