Trip to Jelly Belly
We finally decided to head out to the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, an hour and a half drive from South Bay. The factory is located at the most appropriate address: 1 Jelly Belly Lane, Fairfield, CA.
We decided to take the 40 minute guided walking tour. Being a weekend, there was no production happening, but we walked around the factory and watched some informative videos about how it takes almost 7-12 days to make the famous jelly belly beans. The thing I was most psyched about was the weird and wonderful flavors they came in. From tiramisu to toothpaste, mango chili to rotten egg, toasted marshmallow to canned dog food, they have it all!
With the tour over and our free bag of beans, we shopped around tasting and picking our own beans to create an assortment. We also picked up some collections like the “Sugar free beans”, the “Cocktail Mix” that contained the Margarita, Mojito and Daiquiri flavors, and the “Cold Stone” collection that had all the yummy cold stone icecream flavors! And of course, gotto have a Jelly Belly magnet for my magnet collection.
Clicked a few pictures and we were off to the nearby Punjabi Dhaba off of I-80 at Dixon. A yummy buffet was a perfect ending to time well spent.
