Overview
This is Hawaii's most in-depth chocolate experience. Our 1.5-hour chocolate tasting and our 3.5-hour guided farm tour at Honolii Orchards are both led by experts in the craft chocolate industry and offer an immersive journey through the world of cacao.
3.5 hour farm tour guests will walk the orchards, explore every stage of production—from harvest to post-harvest processing—and learn how chocolate is made. No question goes unanswered; the tour adapts to your curiosity, offering a collegiate-level, educational experience shaped by your interests. The 10+ bar tasting is also included.
1.5 hour chocolate tasting guests will experience a condensed tour entirely in the tasting room focused on the 10+ bar chocolate tasting and a brief overview of cacao horticulture with much less time for questions.
These tours offer a deep dive into the art, science, and soul of chocolate. For those who want more than a taste—for those who want to understand—this is Hawaii’s premier experience.
