Experience Details

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.

What You’ll Experience

On your way to our farm, you'll drive through some of the Big Island's rarely experienced scenic back roads. Our farm is 5 minutes from Hilo and 1.7 miles up Puia Road, in historic ulu, sugarcane, macadamia, and cattle land. Upon arrival at the farm, sit above the canopy and enjoy the stunning ocean and valley views from the Honolii Orchards Tasting Room. Explore the Hamakua Coast’s agricultural history and chat casually before farm tour guests head out to tour the orchards with their guide. We'll discover the secrets of cacao farming and the mysteries of cacao fermentation. Guests on our 1.5 hour chocolate tasting will remain in the tasting room for a condensed and curated experience. Afterward, delve into chocolate's history, from ancient Mesoamerica to the modern craft movement, before savoring diverse craft chocolates from across Hawaii and experiencing the single-origin nuances as genetics and environment meld flavors. This tour offers a comprehensive education, tastings, and a serene pace, leaving you enriched and knowledgeable. You'll return home with lasting memories and an enhanced appreciation for cacao and chocolate.
