The lunch was amazing and the tour informative. It it definitely worth a visit. I wish they would have the tables set up... community style so everyone eat together. I visited by my self and no matter where you are in the world it is sad to eat alone. Read more

The food was very tasty and well seasoned showcasing vanilla in many forms such as sauces, chutneys and drinks. They also sell... those products so you could recreate your vanilla experience at home. Their vanilla ice cream was remarkable and comparable tothe ones served in upscale restaurants. One of the best vanilla ice creams we have ever had. The quality of their product speaksfor itself; very high grade. Definitely a farm that focuses on quality over quantity! You can order their products online.

We visited on May 9, 2022. We started with a delightful luncheon (reservations required) in which we were treated to dishes... using many of the delicious products available in their shop. It was nice to see different ways vanilla can be utilized, andnice to be able to bring some of the products home with us. Food was plentiful and delish. The tour was our big interest andit did not disappoint. We were led by Ian, one of the four brothers who run the farm, who was so knowledgeable. He providedgreat info on the entire operation and helped us appreciate how difficult it is to raise vanilla plants, pollinate them, andturn them into products for us. We have started our own vanilla extract with the beans purchased....can't wait until we can useit in our cooking! Highly recommend: This is a fun and informative tour, and the luncheon was a good experience for us aswell. Read more
