Walk the terraced rows of a working Kona coffee estate on the slopes of Hualālai, meet the farmers, and taste single-origin Kona Extra Fancy — the rarest, most celebrated coffee grown on U.S. soil. An intimate, sensory revelation.
What to expect
You arrive along a fragrant, flower-lined drive at 1,400 ft elevation in the Kona Belt, where the microclimate that makes Kona coffee legendary is immediately palpable. The 45-minute walking tour explains volcanic soil chemistry and the Hawaiian coffee-picking tradition. The premium tasting pairs three roast profiles — light, medium, and dark — with macadamia brittle. The estate shop stocks micro-lot single-harvest beans unavailable outside the farm.
