Description:

More than 11 decadent chocolate tastings, including authentic Hawaiian flavors, await you on this delicious and delightful guided exploration of a chocolate farm. Learn the ins and outs of chocolate production, from branch to bar, in the only US state where the chocolate tree grows.

Your tour begins with a stroll through the picturesque Steelgrass gardens, winding along groves of rare black bamboo, tropical flowers, and exotic fruit trees. After tasting in-season fruit, head to the chocolate orchard, home to chocolate trees at all stages of growth. Take a seat inside the chocolate-tasting tent and watch a demonstration on how to process raw cacao—first into nibs, and then into finished chocolate.

Next, it's time to put your palate to the test. Sample rare and delicious single-estate dark chocolate bars from all over the world, including:

• Hawaii’s own “Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory”
• Mainland American producers such as Guittard, Ghirardelli, and Dagoba
• The Europeans (Valrhona in France and Felchlin in Switzerland)
• “Republica Del Cacao” from Ecuador
