Hawaiian Vanilla Company Overview

Reddekopp’s family-run farm, established in 1998, is the first commercial vanilla operation in the United States. Experience a working vanilla farm and a lunch that highlights all the ways vanilla can be used at the Hawaiian Vanilla Company. Learn about how the farm came into existence, how vanilla is grown and processed and see for yourself what a vanilla farm looks like. Reservations are required due to limited space, so Check Availability and Book in Advance.

Luncheon and Farm Tour

The Luncheon and Farm Tour begins with beverages of either vanilla ice tea or lemonade followed by lunch. An example of the menu is a main course of a vanilla citrus bourbon chicken sandwich, oven-roasted potatoes with a vanilla southwest rub and an organic salad topped by a vanilla raspberry balsamic dressing, feta and pecans. A vegetarian lunch option can also be arranged. Dessert features a scoop of Hawaiian vanilla bean ice cream and comes at the end of the vanilla presentation and tour of the farm.

Tasting and Farm Tour

After the Culinary Tasting presentation and sampling, you will be taken on a Farm Tour of the Hawaiian Vanilla Vineyard.
