MauiWine at Rose Ranch
Hana Highway Must See
MauiWine at Rose Ranch puts a smile on everyone’s face. Historically significant, Rose Ranch is a huge part of Hawaiian history.
It has produced potatoes for the Gold Rush in California, sugar for the old sugar mill, cattle, and now grapes for some seriously fine wines.
MauiWine is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and closed on Mondays. Reservations are highly recommended for tastings and can be made via their website or by phone at (808) 878-6058.

Whether you’re a true connoisseur or just a wannabe wine aficionado, vintages from the famous Rose Ranch do not disappoint. Featuring wines made from unique local tropical fruits and other flora like Maui Gold pineapples, lemon, lavender, and, of course, several varieties of grapes grown right here on Maui makes for award-winning combinations. The 2012 Los Angeles Wine & Spirits Competition saw Hula O’ Maui taking the Gold Medal and 90 points! MauiWine isn’t just making wine; they’re reinventing it! And, in the process, they’re continuing to expand the minds of wine connoisseurs everywhere to the possibilities of new kinds of world-class wines being produced outside of traditional growing areas. They’ve truly got something for everyone. Explore it all by trying a taste in the King’s Cottage (King Kalakaua was a “regular” at the ranch and loved to indulge), taking a walking tour through the diary which now functions as part of the wine production facility and shopping in their ‘specialty’ gift shop. Oh, and don’t forget the photos! Rose Ranch has unbelievable views of Maui rising out of the great blue Pacific and beyond. There could hardly be a better place to take in the sunset.

Heavy rain from the past day is clearing out tonight. You'll see scattered showers Friday morning—lighter and less frequent than what came through—then dry trade winds move in and stick around through at least the middle of next week.
Windward and upland areas will still catch occasional brief showers even as things dry out, but leeward sides turn partly cloudy to mostly clear. Moderate surf holds on south, north, and west-facing beaches through the weekend, close to warning strength. Winds stay gusty through Friday as the system pulls away, then ease once the trades lock in.
Beach days and snorkeling on leeward shores start looking good Saturday. Summit trips and exposed hikes are best waited until winds ease this weekend.

Heavy rain from the past 24 hours is ending tonight. You'll catch scattered showers through Friday morning—lighter and thinner than what just passed. Trade winds take over after Friday and hold steady through the middle of next week, bringing drier conditions and partly cloudy to mostly clear skies on the leeward side.
Windward areas will still see brief showers even as things dry out. Moderate surf hits south, north, and west-facing beaches through the weekend, close to warning levels on the south shore but not quite there. Gusty winds persist tonight and Friday, especially near mountains and exposed coasts, then ease once the trades settle.
Leeward beaches and snorkeling spots turn prime starting Saturday. Save the summit drive and ridge hikes for when winds ease this weekend.
