My mother grew up in Amana and my best memories are going there to visit my grandparents and the rest of the family living there. Their house is now the Chocolate Haus! I guess if my grandparents are no longer living, having that house as a chocolate store is pretty cool!

That is a lovely thought. I have to tell you the chocolate there is fantastic so now you have two reasons to visit!

Oh such wonderful memories of multiple visits to Amana growing up in the 60s & 70s! I remember being allowed to sip some of the yummy fruity wines, lol. Boy, have they grown in the 50+ years since I was there, lol.

I started watching your videos a few months ago. I love all the places that you have both shared. I grew up close by the Amanas and eating at the different restaurants such as The Ronneburg and Ox Yoke Inn. It's a fun place to visit. So many people bypass Iowa but I'm glad you made videos to share with others. Thanks!

As someone who visits here often, the Chocolate Haus is a must... it's so fresh! But for the BEST fudge, Fern Hill in South Amana wins hands down, and they do make it in house 😁

Are these people Amish? If so, have them show you how they treat their animals. Ask them what they do with the older ones that are bo longer "useful" to them. You'll change your mind about these hypocrites...
