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.
Most people are surprised to learn that the Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible farms, ranches, and sprawling fields. From macadamia nut and local coffee farms to cattle ranches, organic spirit distilleries, and even honey bee and goat dairy operations, Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible agricultural ventures. And while these farms are all truly one-of-a-kind, there is one unique farm, in particular, that is in a class of its own: the Hawaiian Sea Spirits Organic Farm & Distillery.
Handcrafted on the beautiful island of Maui, Ocean Vodka is the only vodka in the world distilled from organic sugar cane and blended with deep ocean mineral water. It’s certified organic, naturally gluten-free, and delicious.
The only thing better than enjoying a martini or cocktail made with Ocean Vodka is visiting their breathtaking 80-acre farm and distillery for yourself.
Nestled in the foothills of Mount Haleakala, take in a spectacular panoramic view, bask in the tropical breeze as it makes its way across the island, and experience the creation of world-renowned premium spirits unlike any other.
Learn how more than 30 varieties of Polynesian sugar cane are nurtured and cultivated, and how organic sugar cane juice is transformed into Ocean Vodka. On each tour, which are held seven days a week from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., guests will also learn about sustainable farming practices.
So, let's talk a little more about this unique vodka, shall we?
Utilizing only the safest most sustainable production methods available from seed to finished spirit, Ocean Vodka contains no GMOs, herbicides, or pesticides, ensuring a clean, pure, and refreshing spirit experience.
The intense distillation process creates a spirit free from impurities, leaving only the sugar cane spirit accented by natural, flavor-enhancing minerals from the deep ocean mineral water sourced from 3,000 feet below the ocean’s surface off Hawaii Island’s Kona Coast, where it is ice-cold and full of naturally-occurring minerals.
Once the water is brought to the surface, it is organically purified and desalinated, a process that removes sodium while retaining its rich minerals. And because this 80 proof vodka contains 60 percent water, the result is a vodka unlike anything you’ve tasted before: crisp, clean, refreshing, and entirely unique.
And while we love learning about how this unique vodka is created — and participating in a tasting, of course — it's hard to deny the serene natural beauty of this farm. You'll want to bring a camera along for this one, we promise!
Ocean Vodka Organic Farm & Distillery is located at 4051 Omaopio Rd., Kula, HI 96790 and is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit their website or check out their Facebook page.
