Overview

Welcome to Honoli‘i Orchards—a multigenerational family farm producing some of the world’s finest cacao, as honored by France’s prestigious Salon du Chocolat. But don’t just take their word for it—taste for yourself.

This immersive 1.5-hour experience includes a seminar on the history of chocolate, fruits and cacao nectar right from the farm, and a curated tasting of 10+ exquisite Hawaiian chocolates, including our award-winning bars.

Led by passionate experts in Hawai‘i’s craft chocolate scene, you’ll explore the journey from bean to bar in a setting rooted in sustainability and excellence. Every purchase supports local farmers, advances agricultural research, and fuels our mission to elevate Hawaiian cacao on the world stage.

If you’re seeking something truly exceptional—chocolate with a story, purpose, and soul—this is Hawai‘i’s most elevated tasting experience.

What's Included

  • Tea and coffee Cacao Tea / Brewing Chocolate
  • Snacks Fresh Cacao Fruit, Fresh Cacao Juice, Fermented Cacao Beans, Seasonal fruits from the farm like lychee, rambutan and mangosteen, Fresh Sugar Cane

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.
