We stopped in around 3pm on a Thursday and asked about the chocolate tastings. They offer an in depth full tour and tasting in the mornings (register online) for $25/person but also offer the abbreviated tasting without reservations at no cost and without pressure to buy. There were four others at the time we sat down for our tasting and the presentation was well organized, quite casual and fun. We were given a nice history and each of the chocolates we tasted was explained. We enjoyed every sample we tasted and they were all quite different depending on the region grown or the flavoring added. We were asked if there were any we hadn’t sampled which we would like to try as well. We sampled the specialties… lavender, ghost pepper, and sun flower, a few of the regional chocolates and a few of the chocolates with added flavoring. We also had chocolate tea. When completed (about 20 minutes) we chose to buy chocolate to be shipped home. With $40 purchased, shipping was free, and they were running a special that day - buy 6 bars and the 7th is free; buy 10 bars and get two more free. Everyone working was pleasant and so helpful, making the experience perfect. We asked about the wine and chocolate pairings - reservations are required, for $50/person you are walked through chocolates and perfect wine pairings (only Wednesday evenings). After 5pm the location turns into a wine bar some evenings and they offer a wine menu, beer, cocktails, and charcuterie tray or chocolate with live music. Check the schedule on the web site. This was an amazing stop our hosts told us about and we were so glad we stopped in for the chocolate tasting. We hope to make it back another evening during our stay to visit the wine bar and enjoy the live music and wine.

What a great surprise to stumble across this wonderful and unique chocolate and wine bar. We happen to enter right as they were beginning a chocolate tasting for free and were able to sample a number of different types of chocolates with great explanation. The staff was wonderful the place was clean and atmosphere was warm and inviting. Really a must-see if you are in the area

We went to their "SIP & PAIR" wine and chocolate experience and got to listened to marvelous Matty McIntire perform (he plays “acoustic music fused with neo-folk and funk to classic soul and reggae). The combination of delicious wines, tasty foods and wonderful entertainment blended with the enthusiastic expertise and humor of the warm and welcoming staff created an incomparable evening with lasting joyful memories. Tanis was especially fun and knowledgeable about all aspects of their available wines, their onolicious Hawaii grown chocolate and all other available products and tasting events. She has excellent customer service skills and made our customized experience complete. We highly recommend Mānoa Chocolate and their Natural Wine Bar!
