After visiting the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia this summer, I started thinking about other famous products that have museums or offer tours of their factories. It’s amazing how just having a brand name can draw tourists from all over the world. A prime example is the Guinness Storehouse—the #1 tourist attraction in all of Ireland! I’ve been to a handful of these places so far and hope to visit the others someday.

Great list Michael. I have been to some and would like to visit others. Not sure about the Spam museum though! If I was in the area, I might drop by
You could add the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart Germany!

We almost took a tour of the Jägermeister factory in Brunswick, Germany last week, but we were so busy frantically fixing Kali’s broken computer that we had to bow out. Sad! I hear they give a little gift at the end.
