Tasting Room - the King's Cottage

Located in one of the most historic buildings on the island of Maui. The King's Cottage dates to 1874, when it was built specifically for the visit of Hawaii's monarch David Kalakaua and queen Kapi'olani. During his turbulent reign, which began that year and lasted until his death 1891, Hawai'i's last king often came to Ulupalakua find peace of mind.

The centerpiece of the Tasting Room is an eighteen-foot-long bar cut from the trunk of a single mango tree. Shelves are stocked with Hawaiian-made products and specialty foods and gifts.

The outlying grounds, shaded by trees more than a hundred years old, retain the buildings and landmarks of a fascinating bygone era. This is the landscape of old Rose Ranch, one of Hawai'i's most prosperous and admired nineteenth-century sugar plantations as well as the headquarters of present-day 'Ulupalakua Ranch, home of the Paniolo or Hawaiian cowboy.

Today the ranch is a destination for visitors exploring rural Upcountry Maui. They picnic here and learn island history by touring the grounds.

The Kalakaua Cottage Tasting Room is open nine to five daily (except for major holidays). We offer three tours of the grounds and winery operation per day at 10:30am, 1:30pm and 3:00pm. No charge.
