Vandenberger's Snack - Waterbury

I was really excited to visit this factory and we even had luck and reached an experimental tour of the facility on the day of our visit. The tour was very informative and we had ice samples when we went from one room to another. It goes without saying that her ice was fantastic. I have connected many loving childhood memories to Ben and Jerry and it was great to finally see this place. The founders of the company make a lot of good for the world. It is also funny to see the taste cemetery. I would definitely recommend checking if you are in Vermont!

They test their tours again after they were closed for COVID. I would say the tour was not particularly worth it for the price, but the gift shop was nice to get some souvenirs. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I appreciated the Puns. The tour has a video, a small sample of Keksteig, an overview of the production line and a small sample of ice. Save your $6 fees for a whole ice cream pots in their bowling shop. If you've never seen a factory before that could be worth it. I have seen many factory tours and actually worked in a food factory, so I thought this tour was a miss. Her taste cemetery is funny (absolutely shocked Georgia Peach was not more popular) and they have a great playground for children.

Tours closed for Covid. We went a late evening (about 6 pm) and the cemetery was closed (maybe due to the snow? The only thing to do was buy and eat ice cream! The service was fantastic, they answered all my many questions about the different flavors. Then we ate our treats in the car as it was too cold and snowy to eat in the outdoor terrace. Would like to return as soon as it is completely open again!

The factory tour is closed, but you can still get ice cone so this is nice. I have changes in brewing and the child got strawberry cake. I forgot my 51 cents for a squeezed penny, so I have to remember this next time. The 40 min waiting for ice was noticed at the beginning of the track of Top 10, so I appreciated that they wait and published waiting times. Wait.

This is mostly a review on a new flavor that Ben and Jerry’s released. So recently Ben and Jerry’s discontinued my favorite flavor “Chocolate Peanut Buttery Swirl” and I was absolutely devastated!!! I ate that one for years!! However, their new flavor Chocolate Peanut Butter Split is a PERFECT combination of Chocolate, Peanut butter and banana. This is my new favorite flavor and I know this came out as an Exclusive flavor it won’t be available for long so I’ve been stocking up, but all I have to say is it’s AMAZING and Ben and Jerry’s need to seriously consider making this a permanent flavor. I never thought I’d get over the discontinuation of Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl until THIS flavor came out!!! Ben and Jerry you’ve outdone yourself. PLEASE KEEP CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SPLIT PERMANENTLY!! Please and thank you About the Factory: my family has a timeshare in Vermont and every summer since I was a kid we visit the Ben and Jerry’s factory in Waterbury and we have always enjoyed the tours with the best samples of new flavors they come out with. Due to COVID and I believe recent construction their tours haven’t been running for a while so I wasn’t able to take it when I was there the past couple summers, but visiting the Ben and Jerry’s factory has always been a big part of my childhood and my family and I always make sure we stop by every year for a treat together. We even had the great opportunity to meet Jerry one time at the factory during one of our visits! Will always be a big Ben and Jerry’s fan
