In the huge bowels of the complex, we found administrative offices, carpentry, laundry, vehicle repair, electrical repair, spare parts, supplies management, bakery, ice cream factory, homemade jams, grocery store, trash and recycling (11 tons of recycling per day!). We saw one of the employee cafeterias, the staff gym, shuttle buses for employees, a hospitality training classroom, and a simulator in which staffers learn to serve meals, clean and prepare bedrooms, and more. We were treated to bread, jams, charcuterie, chocolate, and \u2013 the best surprise of all \u2013 discovered a wine cave for tasting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20230808_110043-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20230808_110043-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20230808_110043-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20230808_110043-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20230808_110043-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20230808_110043-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>This is all chocolate, from plates to shoes<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The Heart of the House Tour runs once a week, on Wednesdays, and is limited to ten people.
