Volcano Winery

Fodor's Review:

Lava rock may not seem like ideal soil for the cultivation of grapes, but that hasn't stopped the Volcano Winery from producing award-winning wines combining their Volcano-grown grapes with various island ingredients. Their Macadamia Nut Honey Wine works well as an after-dinner drink, although it may be a touch too sweet for some. Their white Symphony wines have garnered the most praise from critics and visitors to the winery. The wines here are good, but not amazing. The primary reason to visit is the novelty of the winery itself—wine produced from an active volcano is undeniably interesting and appealing. And it makes for a great, unique (and fairly reasonable) gift to bring home. The winery is in a pleasant setting, looking out over the vineyard and nearby golf course; staff are friendly and helpful; and their gift store has a well-chosen selection of local crafts and goods.
