This itinerary offers a delightful blend of coffee, spirits, and artisanal chocolates, providing guests with a comprehensive taste of the city’s rich culinary scene.

The Roasterie highlights include: Explore the air-roasting process of specialty-grade Arabica beans. Walk through the production floor to witness roasting and blending in action. Enjoy a brewing demonstration followed by tastings of their signature cold brews.

J. Reiger Tour. Discover the history of the brand, from its founding in the 1880s to its premature demise at the dawn of Prohibition and eventual revival nearly a century later. This hour-long tour will give you a behind-the-scenes look at our production and barrel aging facilities and concludes with a flight of the first four spirits offerings from when the brand was resurrected in 2014.

Christopher Elbow. This guided tour begins with a welcome beverage of Aztec Spice drinking chocolate, sample a signature Fleur de Sel bonbon, and compare three different single origin tasting squares from three different cacao growing regions in the world.
