Maui Nonprofit Chocolate Factory Tour

Support Maui and Discover the Art of Chocolate Making at The Sunday Factory Experience

Join us for an unforgettable experience at the Ku’ia Estate Chocolate Factory, where 100% of the proceeds from your visit will go directly to a local Maui nonprofit. It’s a perfect way to enjoy the fascinating world of chocolate while supporting our cherished island home.

The Experience

Your journey begins with a special guided tour hosted by Dr. Gunars Valkirs, the Founder and CEO of the chocolate factory. Dr. Valkirs will share his expertise, taking you through every step of the chocolate-making process, from bean to bar.

As you walk through the facility, you’ll get exclusive access to chocolate samples from various stages of production that aren’t available to the public. You’ll also have the opportunity to taste the finished product—three squares of our signature Maui Grown chocolate, plus four additional pieces of your choice!

Enhance Your Tasting

For a richer experience, you can pair your chocolate tasting with a selection of alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages (for an additional charge). Guests over 21 years old can enjoy alcoholic pairings upstairs in our pavilion. Remember to bring a valid photo ID if you plan to enjoy the adult beverages.
