What To Expect
Begin your escape with a scenic drive up Maunakea’s slopes, winding through the Big Island’s hidden backroads, past rolling cattle pastures and historic macadamia orchards. Arrive at our family-owned cacao farm, where tranquility meets luxury in our open-air tasting room. Perched above the canopy, soak in panoramic views of the Honolii River Valley and Pacific Ocean. Keep an eye out—you might even spot a breaching whale!
Then, dive into cacao’s rich journey —from its ancient roots in South America to its thriving Hawaiian legacy. Taste fresh cacao fruit varieties, each telling the story of cacao’s global voyage. Then, uncover a well-kept secret: the rare, sweet nectar of the cacao fruit, cherished by its discoverers long before chocolate existed.
Immerse yourself in the most extensive craft chocolate tasting in Hawaii! Sample 10+ exclusive single-origin bars, each crafted from beans from farms around Hawaii. Learn the stories behind the beans—the farmers, their sustainable practices, and the meticulous techniques that transform humble seeds into extraordinary chocolate. As the world dubs Hawaii “the Napa Valley of Chocolate,” this is your front-row seat to the revolution.
