From tree to treat. See how Chukar Cherries makes the magic happen
Chukar Cherries is pulling back the curtain and giving fans a chance to see how it uses Washington-grown cherries in treats, pie fillings, sauces and other products.
The family-owned business created the Chukar Cherries Visitor Experience, a guided tour of its flagship store and factory in Prosser.
Tours are by reservation only and cost $10. They are open to those age 13 and over.
The tour includes equipment displays and production insights, as well as a look at how Chukar dries cherries for use in chocolate-covered treats and other products.
The tour includes a tasting and stop in the Chukar gift shop.
Chukar Cherries is at 320 Wine Country Road in Prosser. Its products are widely sold in groceries as well as in Prosser and at Pike Place Market in Seattle.
