I’m super excited! I got this as a gift for my partner's birthday, and I think they’ll love the farm tour and chocolate tasting. I've heard they sample over 10 different chocolates, including award-winners from Hawaii! I’m just curious—any tips on what to expect?

Anyone done the Craft Chocolate Tasting recently?

I’m thinking about getting this as a gift for my sister’s anniversary. I remember her mentioning she’s into chocolate, but is it really worth it? What did you think about the experience?
