Factory Tours Provide Enjoyable Vacation Activity, Especially if Combined with a Luxury Vacation Rental
December 29, 2006. Have you ever seen a vat of chocolate the size of a small swimming pool? Ever tasted a freshly brewed beer? Do you wonder what makes your favorite ice cream so delicious (and expensive)? Try taking a tour of a factory that makes these special products on your next vacation. It will change the way you think about many of the things you come in contact with every day.
A Boston Herald article on New England factory tours offers some great suggestions. Companies in Massachusetts and Vermont include Cape Cod Potato Chips and Ben and Jerry's. According to the article, the latter tour includes generous free samples of ice cream.
We would also like to suggest some other interesting tours. If you're staying in the San Francisco Bay Area, check out Anchor Steam Brewing Company, one of the first modern microbreweries in the United States, or Levi Strauss, home of the iconic jeans. Wisconsin has more than 68 cheese factory tours. All of thse tours can be more enjoyable if you stay at a luxury vacation rental such as the ones listed on VacationRental.org.
