Ulupalakua Vineyard Maui winery

Ulupalakua Vineyards

Draped along the volcanic slopes of Haleakala, Ulupalakua Vineyards is perfectly poised to create remarkable wines. Nature offers a solid foundation: gentle sunshine, cool temperatures, and rich volcanic soils produce layered and complex flavors from the vineyard’s fruit. Protected by afternoon cloud cover and cool trade winds, twenty-three acres of Syrah, Malbec, Grenache, Viognier, Chenin Blanc, and Gewurztraminer receive constant attention by nurturing hands. An extended growing season and temperate climate allow the grapes to develop fully, while intentionally small harvests draw upon only the finest fruit, resulting in vibrant, flavorful wines. The Ulupalakua Vineyards winemaking team takes over where nature leaves off, crafting fine wines that reflects Maui distinct flavor, and offering a sense of place with every sip. Visitors are invited to gain an appreciation for Ulupalakua’s unique growing conditions during private vineyard tours.
