ASQ Section 0511 is pleased to have arranged for two ranger-led tours of River-Sea Chocolate Factory in Chantilly, VA

About this venue: River-Sea Chocolates, was born from the synergy between cacao, the lush rainforests that nurture it, and the winding waterways that sustain it. They take pride in crafting the most exquisite single-origin artisanal chocolate creations that are not only rich in flavor but also packed with nutrition. Their commitment to stewardship remains unwavering as they directly import cacao and utilize wind-powered cargo ships, minimizing their carbon footprint and ensuring traceability in every delectable piece of chocolate they create. Love is at the core of their endeavors, guiding their interactions with customers, their contributions to communities, and their dedication to protecting the planet.
