Good idea.
I have been by Ben & Jerry's, but haven't taken a tour.
Where was it? New Hampshire? I don't remember.

Toured the Maker's Mark distillery in Kentucky. I was very disappointed. They wouldn't give out samples.

That is correct. You won't get a product sample there. The irony- whiskey being manufactured in a dry county-

Dr. Pepper museum in Waco, TX is the original factory for that product. Interesting to visit. Shows how they used to do it.

Ben and Jerry's is just outside of Burlington, Vermont.
Did the tour, got the tee shirt, ate the ice cream, bought more ice cream for the road, used it to test the freezer of our new Dometic refrigerator...it passed.
They even have a little bit of RV parking (which is actually closer than the regular parking.)

I would recommend a trip to Napa Valley. They have lots of tasting tours. If you want to know about camping, PM me or call me.
Also, just a few miles away, there is a jellybean manufacturer. They have samples also....

You will be amazed at how many Disney movies you have forgotten.....

Last spring I ran across Bold Rock brewery in Nellysford, VA and took a tour of their factory (really small) They makes a great craft hard cider. They did have free samples, but I could not leave without a couple cases to go.
There are also a couple small wineries and craft beer breweries within a few miles, so it is a good place for a weekend outing and close to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This is a website that should keep you in tours for a few trips ;-)

I updated my list with the additional information y'all have posted. However, I don't think it makes much sense to continue with the list since it has been rendered obsolete with the websites that have been provided. There is no way my list can ever compare to these resources.
Thanks Much Everybody
