Worth the visit - Took the tour. The guide was very pleasant. Amazing that they do everything by hand. Loved the bourbon balls. Lots of other items to choose from as well.

Inspiring story and history! - It’s great to see how this legacy continues to thrive through family. It’s a small place for a large business making 2 million chocolates per year. If you remember Lucy and Ethel you can definitely relate here. The history is very interesting and all Ruth had to endure is inspiring for anyone with a dream.

Tradition - I really enjoyed seeing chocolate made from scratch and being handled the traditional way. It was nice seeing caring people using the original equipment and building. Not just disposing of things like current society.

Chocolate Bourbon Balls - We stopped by to see what kind of candy they had and stumbled upon a huge piece of Kentucky history. There was so much information about this lady and her family that it was very interesting. They offer tours, however we didn't have time.
We purchased some chocolates and they were delicious! The chocolate caramels are the best! The Kentucky mint was also good as well as the bourbon balls. We plan on going back by on our way home this weekend!

Interesting tour! - My husband and I visited Rebecca Ruth chocolates for the tour and experience and found it to be very interesting. We especially enjoyed learning the history behind the company, but most of all we enjoyed the free sample at the end of the tour!

Bourbons balls and booboos! - A nice, historical candy shop. He chocolate is made in store, free samples and low cost manufacturing booboos that taste the same. The tour is up to you but it is not ground breaking. A nice quick stop for some chocolate.

$10 for a tour and a bourbon ball. Felt like it went to a good cause but not worth the tour. - The tour should have been a free walk through. Nothing worth seeing in the back factory part. The company is redoing the back factory for new tours so maybe the future tour will be worth it.
