Manoa Chocolate Hawaii is a tree-to-bar chocolate maker and tasting venue based in Kailua, Hawaiʻi. Founded to celebrate Hawaiian cacao, the company operates America’s largest tree-to-bar factory on Oʻahu and offers public tours, tastings, and educational experiences. Visitors can join guided factory tours to see the full bean-to-bar process, from roasting and fermenting to conching and packaging, and sample chocolates produced from Hawaiʻi-grown cacao and sourced beans from around the world.
At the Mānoa Chocolate & Wine Bar, guests will find curated tasting flights, a cacao tea service, and a "Sip & Pair" wine and chocolate experience that pairs four wine pours with handcrafted chocolates and a charcuterie board. Specialized experiences include an in-depth chocolate education led by Chocolate Sommeliers and a Japanese-language tour and tasting that highlights local and international chocolates.
Mānoa Chocolate emphasizes ethical cacao practices and transparency in sourcing, supporting Hawaiian cacao farming and craft chocolate production. The factory tour highlights local cacao farming methods and the company’s bean-to-bar production within Kailua. Experiences are suitable for couples, families, and small groups seeking a hands-on look at chocolate production and tasting.
