Merriman's offers a special behind-the-scenes look at Hawaii Regional Cuisine with Hawaii Forest & Trail's popular Farm Tour. Before enjoying an authentic dining experience at the restaurant, our guests visit the lands where Kahua Ranch now prospers, the same lands where, many years earlier King Kamehameha trained his warriors to conquer the island chain. Today these historic Kohala grasslands, at 3,000 wondrous feet, are home to one of the most respected range-fed sheep and cattle ranches in Hawaii.


Guests also visit the charming and picturesque Honopua Family Farm, renowned for its organic vegetables, lavender, and cut flowers. Owners Ken and Rowen Hufford offer a personal tour and samplings from the farm.

Following these visits, guests return to Merriman's for a special three-course dinner prepared by the chefs to highlight the products and produce from the farms. Our knowledgeable and professional servers will offer insight into the creative interpretation for the evening's menu and assist with choosing wines from our award-winning cellar.
