With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
The Valley Isle is a place of uninterrupted natural beauty, and nowhere is that more true than upcountry Maui, on the slopes of Mount Haleakala. While it is easy to say that this area of Maui, comprised of Makawao, Pukalani, Kula, and Ulapalakua, is known for its magic landscapes and stunning vistas, there are some killer attractions to check out while you’re there. And the best way to experience the tastiest of these attractions is with an excursion led by Maui Craft Tours.
Maui’s alcohol purveyors have been passionate about sourcing local ingredients to produce island-inspired creations for decades, and today, that long-established craft industry is a rich cultural tradition shared with locals and tourists across the world.
Inspired by a passion for handcrafted food and beverages that embody the flavors of Hawaii, Maui Craft Tours is one of the most unique tour companies in the Aloha State.
To experience the best flavors Maui has to offer — as well as the artisans who craft them — join Maui Craft Tours for a celebration of the island’s beer, wine, spirits, and more.
With several unique tour options, there is an excursion for everyone — from farm-to-table meals and carefully crafted beverages to locally grown, hand-roasted coffee.
On the Taste of Maui Tour, guests will enjoy coffee from Mill House Roasting Co., an exclusive tour and tasting at MauiWine, lunch at Ulupalakua Ranch, and tours and tastings at both the Hali’iaile Distilling Co. and Maui Brewing Co.
Stops along the six-hour Upcountry Tasting Tour include visits to MauiWine, Sea Spirits, and the Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm — three of the island’s premier food and beverage makers. You’ll also enjoy hand-roasted coffee from Mill House Roasting Co. and lunch at the Ulupalakua Ranch.
If you prefer a longer, more robust, tour, opt for the eight-hour Pineapple Express, where guests will go on a journey from the Hali’imaile Pineapple fields to MauiWine, Hali’imaile Distilling, and Maui Brewing Co. to learn how each of these artisans is turning pineapple into island-inspired craft beverages. Break for lunch at the Hali’imaile General Store and end your adventure over drinks at The Mill House.
Of course, you must be 21+ to drink, but all tours are open to those 10 and older and include a Maui Craft Tours souvenir travel cup as well as exclusive shopping and dining discounts.
Maui Craft Tours offers four unique excursions the entire family is sure to love, and you can learn more — and book a tour for yourself — on their website. You can also follow them on Facebook. Pro tip: as of publication, you can book online for 10% off any public tour. Have you ever enjoyed a tour with this Maui company? Perhaps you’ve visited some of the stops they make?
