Itinerary

Farm Tour The first part of our 1.5 hour guided tour includes a trip to our orchard where we’ll teach you everything we know about cacao, including growing the trees, harvesting, fermentation, and the drying of cacao beans.

Chocolate Tasting After the tour of our cacao orchard, we’ll venture up to our covered lanai and tasting area and we’ll open a ripe cacao pod and taste fresh cacao fruit. You’ll enjoy an extensive chocolate tasting with five of our current award-winning product offerings. Similar to a wine tasting, we’ll teach you how to taste chocolate like a connoisseur. You’ll also learn chocolate’s rich history, its health benefits (it’s a superfood!), the entire chocolate making process from roasting to tempering, and finally, we’ll take a close look at the global industry of cacao and chocolate and how it relates to Hawaii.

We end our tour at our downtown store so that you can see our production area and machines, and of course, purchase our products.
