Staunton Virginia is a small town that’s approximately 40 miles west of Charlottesville. Its scenery … up against the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills in the Shenandoah Valley … is amazingly beautiful. And the town itself is wonderfully charming. From a real estate point of view, the homes in Staunton range from cute bungalows to stately brick town homes.
And now Staunton has another attribute that makes it worth the 40 mile drive.
Chocolate.
That’s right. Chocolate. If you regularly read this blog, you know how much we already have loved Charlottesville’s chocolatier, Gearhart’s Chocolates. Until now, folks from the Staunton area had to drive to C’ville to get their yummy chocolates.
Now Staunton is proud to have its own chocolate shop. Its name is Cocoa Mill. Cocoa Mill used to be in nearby Lexington VA, so people already know how wonderful it is. Their chocolates are made fresh from real cocoa beans and the heavenly scent of their shop is reason enough to visit.
Hint: Valentine’s Day.
