Tedeschi Vineyards and Winery
You can tour the winery and its historic grounds, the former Rose Ranch, and sample the island's only wines: a pleasant Maui Blush, Maui Champagne, and Tedeschi's annual Maui Nouveau. The top-seller, naturally, is the pineapple wine. The tasting room is a cottage built in the late 1800s for the frequent visits of King Kalakaua. The cottage also contains the 'Ulupalakua Ranch History Room, which tells colorful stories of the ranch's owners, the paniolo tradition that developed here, and Maui's polo teams. The old General Store may look like a museum, but in fact it's an excellent pit stop. www.mauiwine.com. OPEN: Daily 9-5, tours at 10:30 and 1:30.
