There's something for every taste "bud" and age group in Fairfield, California, where two factories offer tours of candy and samples for kids of all ages or brews with samples for big kids 21+.

Former President Ronald Reagan loved Jelly Belly candies made in Fairfield, and his image is commemorated in intricate artwork made from thousands of colorful Jelly Belly candies glued to canvas. It is one of the fascinating items you might see during a factory tour where all ages must don paper Jelly Belly hats and step into the viewing area above the factory floor to learn about and watch millions of little bite-sized candy pieces being manufactured, polished, packaged and shipped around the globe.

Jelly Belly Factory Tours are free, and after you take the 45 minute tour you get to go to the Sample Bar and try out many flavors. Yum! jellybelly.com

After the Jelly Belly Factory Tour, head down the road a short distance to the Budweiser Brewery Tour in Fairfield.

Afterward, anyone age 21 or older gets to sample beer products, including many unique and seasonal blends. Anheuser Busch Brewery Factory Tours are also offered in cities throughout the U.S. (St. Louis, MO; Fort Collins, CO; Jacksonville, FL; and Merrimack, NH.) budweisertours.com
