VIP Chocolate Tasting and Farm Tour

VIP Chocolate Tasting and Farm Tour lasts about 120.

VIP Chocolate Tasting and Farm Tour costs $95 per person.

VIP Chocolate Tasting and Farm Tour meets at Kahi Ola Mau Farm / Honokaa Chocolate farm and downtown store, Honokaa, Hawaii.

VIP Chocolate Tasting and Farm Tour includes Guide and Snacks.

The tour runs about two hours and is split into two main parts: a farm tour and a chocolate tasting. You will visit the cacao orchard to learn about growing, harvesting, fermenting, and drying cacao beans, then move to a covered lanai where you taste fresh cacao fruit and five award-winning chocolate products. The tasting is structured like a wine tasting, teaching you how to evaluate chocolate like a connoisseur. You will also learn about chocolate's history, health benefits, and the full production process from roasting to tempering. The tour wraps up at the downtown store, where you can see the production equipment and purchase products directly.

The full two-hour VIP tour runs Monday through Saturday from 2 to 4pm, and you should check the online calendar for current availability. The guided farm and tasting experience is offered on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday specifically for the VIP format. Starting May 13, the farm also offers 45-minute guided chocolate tastings by reservation at the farm's tasting bar, giving visitors a shorter option. The downtown Honokaa Chocolate store is open every day from 11am to 4pm for walk-in visits, though the full farm orchard tour is only available through a booked reservation.

You will receive a full refund or credit if you cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled tour. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice receive a 50% refund, and no-shows are charged the full price with no refund issued. To cancel or ask about a cancellation, you need to contact the operator directly by phone or email - cancellations are not processed automatically. Given that the no-show policy is strict, it is worth reaching out as early as possible if something comes up before your reservation date.

The tour is listed as having family-friendly options, so families with children are welcome to participate in the experience. The operator explicitly notes family-friendly formats, which suggests the content and pacing are designed to be accessible to younger visitors as well as adults. The itinerary covers hands-on elements like opening a ripe cacao pod and tasting fresh cacao fruit, which tend to appeal to curious younger guests. Families who want a shorter commitment can also opt for the 45-minute guided tasting at the farm's tasting bar, available by reservation starting May 13.

The VIP Chocolate Tasting and Farm Tour is priced at $90 per person. This covers the full two-hour guided experience, including the cacao orchard tour, fresh cacao fruit tasting, and a structured tasting of five award-winning chocolate products on the farm's covered lanai. The tour ends at the downtown Honokaa Chocolate store, where you can browse and purchase products separately. If you are looking for a lower-cost introduction, the 45-minute guided tasting at the farm tasting bar is available as an alternative by reservation, though pricing for that shorter format is not listed here.
