Best tour not for tourists

Winner: Taza Chocolate Factory Tour

Taza’s factory is located in an industrial area of Somerville, so most tourists won’t bother with the trek. Their loss, because visitors get to learn the company’s traditional Mexican stone ground process, which relies on organic cacao beans, sugar, and not much else. Though the weekday and weekend tours are an hour long and almost identical, spring for the former if you want to see the chocolate machines in action. –Kevin Slane
