Wcg ChurchDecember 7, 2014Remembered visiting this place decades ago. Amazing that they kept on going and going, and the many flavors they keep introducing over time is unbelievable. A must visit for international visitors.
Destynee AutumnMarch 24, 2015Great tour to take. Not as busy during the week. Sample bar is a good place to try out the new flavors. Expensive stuff to buy though. There is a military discount!
destiny stevensJuly 2, 2013Reserve spots in the factory tour ahead of time. They're small (up to 6 people) tours of the inside of the factory. You can easily get 4 times the free samples you'd get in the other tours.
Sammy CorbinAugust 12, 2016Very fun day out! The free tour is really good and there is a nice little sample bar to try a few flavours before you buy.- Tim DengJuly 2, 2016So fun! Definitely check out the self guided tours. If you want a lot of jelly beans, get the belly flops. They're significantly cheaper at the factory
- Jinnie LApril 3, 2015free sample as much as you want :) my fav. buttered popcorn, top banana, toasted marshmallow, n cappuccino! (stick to the classic guys... beanboozled sucks!!!)
ScottySauceAugust 15, 2011The original eight flavors of jelly belly beans introduced in 1976 were very cherry, root beer, cream soda, tangerine, green apple, lemon, licorice and grape. It takes 7-21 days to produce each one.
James CJuly 29, 2013Great Tour with Kate. Free samples and end of the tour bag of Jelly Belly's . Its free and totally worth it. Only an Hour from San Francisco.
Brandon CainJune 22, 2016Just remodeled free self guided tour. New TVs and activities for kids. Also get free jelly beans at the end of the tour- Erika RobbinsSeptember 2, 2014Free tour with free samples! Plus get any kind of Jelly Belly in the store. You can now try all those recipes with rate flavors!
Martin BomFebruary 23, 2013Note worthy is that the belly flop sale location also sells items that were tried but sometimes not successful (in the US), so you can score some quite tasty uncommon candy from them!
DanMarch 9, 2019Grab a bag of Jelly Belly "Belly Flops" (irregular shaped beans) on your way out! Same taste, half the price!
RossMay 15, 2017President Reagan always kept a jar of jelly beans on his desk in the Oval Office and on Air Force One.
Michelle L.May 28, 2013They provide free tours at their factory! Plus, they give you free sample size jelly beans at the end of the tour.
Ramp CreativeNovember 10, 2011The Jelly Belly candy concept was originally created in 1976 by David Klein. The fun yellow and red logo was designed by Kathy Fosselman, which still exists now.
Royal AustyOctober 12, 2018The belly flops are a great takeaway but the wine and chocolate flight is divine.
John McGovernJanuary 5, 2014Take the tour and sample the fudge, the chocolate bacon fudge is different but in a good way
Patty HicksJuly 16, 2016Free tour and samples. Lots of different flavored that I didn't know existed.
Charmayne YoungJuly 9, 2013The tour is guided and about 45 mins long. Lines can be long, but it moves quickly!
Janice Lew SantosAugust 1, 2012You're not allowed to take pictures on the tour, but there are lots of bean-esque things in the shop to get fun photos with!- planetmackieJanuary 13, 2010Take the tour and get free jelly Bean samples. You can also host children's Birthday parties there. You can also buy belly flops, a giant bag of irregular jelly belly's for dirt cheap Read more
Melissa ThomasJuly 20, 2014Don't recommend going on the tour on the weekend, factory workers are off. There were some parents that took their kids out early because their kids were bored/crying. Free samples though!
Kurt TholkingNovember 21, 2012Good free tour with lots of samples. A must-do when visiting the Napa area.
Chad TroyseAugust 23, 2013Wonderful place! Go during the week when workers are working, and also purchase the flops.
John RuizJune 30, 2012Have your group wait in line while one person at a time goes to the sample bar and grabs free jelly beans!
Dana WeberApril 1, 2013Tours can be a long wait, especially during heavy traffic times (spring break, summer, etc.). Get there early.
Brian IbarraAugust 30, 2014Tour here is perfect time & definitely a place for kids and those kids at heart
Ted sJuly 20, 2012Get the Belly flops (slightly disfigured jellybellys. - great price ($9 for 2lbs) and not sold in stores.
Gnat BrainMarch 31, 2018It is what it is. Save a little money and by the irregular candy at the store by the cafe.- Yvonne BarterSeptember 4, 2018The factory workers do not work on weekends but there are short videos at each station letting you know the process.
Erin G.May 24, 2014Come during the week to see the factory in full operation. No workers not working machines on the weekend.
Karen ClarkDecember 23, 2009After the tour,check out the case sale near the restaurant before buying @ the gift shop. They also have overstock 50% off. Get bags of belly flops - $9 sweet deal! Foods not great - jellybean pizza!
James BatesApril 19, 2014We queued for 2 1/2 hours, not really worth it for a 30 min tour and they only give you a couple of samples!

Danielle PrawdzikAugust 15, 2013Arrive early otherwise you will have to navigate through hundreds of miniature humans.
Adriane HolguinApril 10, 2012Be prepared to stand and wait in a very very long line packed with young children! Its the only way to get in the tour
