Morning Paint & Sip on a Holualoa Lanai — Coffee-Pigment Art with Ocean Views.
Set high on the slopes of Holualoa, this 90‑minute morning session pairs slow, deliberate brushwork with the steady ritual of Kona coffee. Led by a local Big Island artist, the class unfolds on the farm’s back lanai, where ocean and mountain vistas form a calm, luminous backdrop to a creative, coffee‑infused start to the day.

What the day feels like
What the morning feels like
The experience is deliberately unhurried: check in at the Hilltop Welcome Center, settle on the lanai with a welcome pour, then follow step‑by‑step instruction as you paint with acrylics and coffee. Over 90 minutes you move from warmup strokes to a finished piece, punctuated by fresh coffee, island light, and a short showcase at the end.
