Maestrani's Chocolarium
The Chocolarium is the visitor experience run by Maestrani, a long-established Swiss chocolate maker, combining a self-guided exhibition on chocolate production with a working view of the actual factory floor and a tasting/sampling area. It's smaller in scale and less polished than the bigger-name chocolate experiences like Maison Cailler, but it covers similar ground — the history of Swiss chocolate-making and a look at real production — at a shorter distance from St. Gallen than most alternatives.
It's a solid half-day option for families or chocolate enthusiasts staying in the St. Gallen area who don't want to travel as far as western Switzerland's better-known chocolate factories.
