About this tour
Experience the most comprehensive Hawaiian craft chocolate tasting Hilo offers at Honolii Orchards, a family-owned cacao farm perched on Maunakea's slopes with sweeping views of the Honolii River Valley and Pacific Ocean. This 1.5-hour journey into Hawaii's emerging role as "the Napa Valley of Chocolate" features over 10 single-origin chocolate bars crafted from beans grown across Hawaiian farms. The scenic drive up volcanic slopes winds past cattle pastures and historic macadamia orchards before arriving at an open-air tasting room where you might catch sight of breaching whales in the distance.
Your expert-guided adventure starts with fresh cacao fruit tastings, revealing the sweet nectar that captivated ancient discoverers long before chocolate existed. Sample fermented cacao beans while learning the complete bean-to-bar process, then taste chocolate bars that showcase each farm's unique terroir and sustainable practices. The experience includes fresh cacao juice, house-made brewing chocolate, and seasonal tropical fruits like lychee, rambutan, mangosteen, and Surinam cherries grown right on the property. Between unlimited chocolate samples, wander through the cacao groves, capture photos of the lush landscape, or browse the farm shop featuring vanilla beans, small-batch teas, and handmade soaps from local collaborators.
