Princeville Botanical Gardens

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.
