MauiWine

Was not expecting a winery in Hawaii, but there it is. We came from the other side of the country and of course my wife was happy to see a wine tasting here just like back home. The scenery of the whole place is amazing and trees were very high. I would recommend to walk around and enjoy what it has to offer. To the wine, we ordered 2 set. I only tried the pineapple flight set and it’s quite a unique taste especially that it was made of pineapple rather than the traditional grape. Taste is sweeter than your typical wine. Onto the appetizer, those were amazing and probably the highlights for sure. We ordered Brie-happy and Olive-it. The Brie with the guava glaze is a perfect duo to try it for and it was simply amazing! Olive it was okay. Since I’m not a fan of olives but it has sun dried tomatoes and that excite me quite a bit!

We enjoyed our visit to Maui Wine from Kiehi. The drive up was beautiful, and once we arrived, the group was seated without wait. My wife and I ordered different flights, so we'd have a larger sample while our sons ordered sodas. Everything was delicious and quite different from our regular tastings. The local fruit, being the star was definitely up front in every glass. It actually became a little monotonous. Service was fast and friendly. The grounds were wonderful with many old growth trees of different varieties and a feeling of peacefulness that is hard to explain.

We came here on our 2nd to last day at Maui. It was an interesting experience- definitely something to do - we tried the pineapple wine flight - we had wanted to try this unique wine. Probably very individual- but too sweet for me . The goatta have it was a great snack ! Loved the goat cheese . We also tried 2022 Chenin blanc - that was my favorite !!

Slightly disappointed. The wife and I always wine taste almost everywhere we go. We're members of a wineery close to our house. We buy probably 4-5 bottles a month. Here, I'm sorry to say we were slightly disappointed. We walked the beautiful grounds from the parking area to a sign that said wait to be seated, but nobody was there. We could see a server walking around on the deck serving people. It took a couple minutes with us standing there confused for her to tell us she'll be with us in a minute. A few minutes after that, now close to 5 minutes of standing there, another woman walked up to us and asked if we were waiting to be seated as if she was going to seat us. After replying, yes; she said someone will be with us shortly. Then, she walked away. We thought a very confused, Okay then! Finally, we were seated not at a table but at the hand railing of the deck with a couple stools next to it. Beautiful scenery, but we felt like we were sitting at the kid's table at the family's Thanksgiving dinner. Looked over the menu. Only options for tasting were to choose between two different flights. Each flight has 4 different wines. We don't get to choose the wines. They did have other wines outside the flights, but they we not included in the tasting. They were either by glass or bottle. We ordered both flights. I prefer dryer reds. My wife prefers semi sweet red blends. Only one of the 8 was red. We both tasted each and decided the red was the best and the pineapples were....trying not to be rude....we did did not like them at all. Just their aroma alone was a turn off. We did not enjoy the wines, and I'm sorry we didn't because I love pineapple and I love Maui. We've never been to a wine tasting where we were told what to taste rather than us choosing what to taste. Although we have been to tastings where reservations were required, we have never been to a tasting where we had to wait to be seated at a restaurant style atmosphere. Never been to a tasting where we were ignored for so long. On the other hand, the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. That alone made the whole experience worth it. If you want to go for the wine, I'd have to recommend against it. If you want to go for the beautiful scenery and experience, worth it. Who knows, you may actually like the wine. Update: Outstanding response from owner. Change from 2 to 4 stars.

Worth a visit because it was such a beautiful and scenic drive, goat cheese with pineapple syrup was a divine combination I never knew I needed - definitely had to buy a bottle after. Bought plenty of bottles from this place - a pity they don’t do international shipping. If you just want to try the wine without the long drive, you can find their wine in some of the supermarkets near Wailea.
