Maui Chocolate Tour leads small-group, reservation-only “tree-to-bar” experiences on an up-country Maui cacao farm. Guided by master chocolatier Melanie Boudar, guests walk among cacao trees, taste fresh fruit, see beans ferment, ...
Visitors consistently rave about the passionate guides here, with Brandy, Gunars (the CEO himself), Stephanie, and others earning enthusiastic praise for their knowledge and engaging presentation style. The tour takes you through the entire cacao-to-chocolate journey, from orchard walks where you'll see and taste cacao fruit firsthand to detailed explanations of fermentation and production. Many guests highlight the beautiful treehouse lunch setting overlooking the West Maui Mountains and the extensive chocolate tasting at the end, featuring up to 19 different varieties. What makes this stand out is the quality of the chocolate and the company's mission. Gunars brings an impressive professional background to his chocolate-making, and guests who research him beforehand seem especially impressed. The chocolate has won best-in-show awards, and the taste speaks for itself. Beyond the delicious product, all net profits go to charity, which resonates deeply with visitors looking to support meaningful local businesses. One reviewer noted some climbing involved, but otherwise this is an overwhelmingly beloved experience that feels both educational and genuinely special.
This was an amazing tour and very informative. If you are lucky enough to get Brandy as your guide you will not be disappointed. We learned so much about the company and their history. Lastly the chocolate tasting at the end was awesome. Highly recommend this tour while in Maui.
