An introduction to fine chocolate

Our farm tour takes place at our cacao farm just  a 1/4 mile above Historic Honoka'a town. Our goal during the guided tour and chocolate tasting is to change the way you think about chocolate, from where you purchase it to how you consume it.  Hawaii is the only state where cacao is grown commercially, and Honokaa Chocolate Co is a great place to experience a cacao orchard first hand and to taste world-class fine chocolates.  If you’ve never sampled craft chocolate, you’re in for a treat.

Cacao Orchard Tour

The first part of our 2-hour guided tour includes a trip to our orchard where we’ll get up-close and personal with our cacao trees and teach you everything we know about cacao, including how we grow the trees, harvesting, fermentation, drying of the cacao beans and resting periods. 

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 (subject to availability). You’ll enjoy a 45 minute chocolate tasting with nine 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 and where Hawaii's craft chocolate industry fits into it.

Retail Store and Chocolate Factory Tour

After the cacao farm tour concludes we caravan to our downtown Honoka'a retail store and production facility located about 1 mile from the farm.  We'll take a short guided tour of our chocolate making facility, taste a few more chocolates and you'll be able to make purchases at the conclusion of the tour.

Here's some things that you should know about our experiences

• Tours/tastings are by reservation only.
• Our tours/tastings are limited to a maximum of 12 people 
• This is an adult-centric tour.  Although children under 10 are welcome to accompany you we suggest that families with young children visit our downtown store as a preferable alternative to the tour.
• After you book online, we’ll email you written driving directions to the Farm.
• Our tour fills up quickly so we suggest booking at least one week in advance of your visit to guarantee your spot.
