Chocolate Tastings in Hawaii

Big Island

The owner is an award-winning fermenter with a master's degree in cacao fermentation and published research — the step that most determines chocolate quality. Tours walk a 33-acre Hāmākua Coast farm with 2,000+ cacao trees and close with a tasting.

Bean-to-bar factory in Kailua with farm partnerships at Kamananui and Honoliʻi — they help cultivate the cacao, not just source it. Factory and farm tours trace the full chain from three distinct Hawaiʻi origins.

Big Island

A working 1,000-tree cacao farm in Kona that makes single-origin chocolate from beans sourced across Big Island micro-regions, so you can compare how place actually shapes flavor. Farm tours run Wednesday through Saturday by reservation; the cafe and shop are open daily for walk-ins.

Certified organic since 1977, this 5-acre Kona farm grows cacao, coffee, and mac nuts on-site — tours walk the orchard from blossom to bean, then close with a single-origin tasting made from what you just saw growing.

Kauai

Kauai cacao, grown and processed right on the property — this is tree-to-bar in the most literal sense. The three-hour guided tour walks the orchards, covers the full bean-to-bar process, and ends with tastings of their organic chocolate alongside honey from on-site hives.

Oahu

The Waialua Coffee & Chocolate Mill sits directly behind this shop, and the free tour lets you follow cacao from the trees to the roast. Bars run up to 70% Waialua chocolate, with roasted cacao beans also available if you want to taste Oahu's North Shore at the source.

Cacao trees on the Waialua grounds supply the mill a few steps away — the tour shows both farm and process, with free samples of the freshly roasted coffee and chocolate and an Extra Dark 70% among the bars. All of it grown and milled in Waialua on Oahu’s North Shore.
