Tedeschi Vineyards

Tedeschi Vineyards are located at Ulupalakua Ranch on Highway 37 in Kula on the island of Maui in Hawaii and is approximately 25 miles from Kahului Airport. The ranch is located on the slopes of the Halekala Volcano and as well as being home to the vineyards is also the second largest cattle ranch on the island. The grounds to the vineyard and the tasting room are open to visitors from 10am to 5pm daily except for major public holidays.

Public tours take place here daily from 10.30am and 1.30 pm where visitors can view the tasting room, which used to be the guest cottage of King Kalakaua. The room features an 18-foot long bar that was made from one mango tree and guests are invited to try four of the wines made from locally grown pineapples. The complimentary tasting also includes the grape and sparkling wines made here.

As well as the wine tasting, public walking tours are offered at the vineyards and these generally take about half an hour. Specials events are organized here one Sunday every three months where guests taste the wines and learn about the history of the area. Opposite the tasting room is the Ulupalakua Store, where visitors can take lunch between 11am and 2.30pm.
