Ulupalakua

On the slopes of Haleakala, there's a region known as Ulupalakua. They say that this translates to "man walking uphill with breadfruit". Across the street from Ulupalakua Ranch Store is the Tedeschi Winery. Once a family home and estate, it's now become a winery/tasting room that produces Maui's only local wines.


Their original claim to fame was a sweet pineapple wine, but they now make a range of wines including a nice sparkling white. If you're driving upcountry, be sure to stop and enjoy the surroundings of this peaceful estate, and learn a little of the history.

If you continue out the winding road, you will come to ranchlands that are still grazed by Maui cattle. The beautiful scenery and vistas at this 3,000 foot altitude makes it a worthwhile outing.
There are some beautiful homes for sale in this area, with views to die for. Please let me know if you're thinking of making a move to a cool elevation, and we can drive out together and see some of them.
