Volcano Winery

Volcano Winery Review

Lava rock may not seem like ideal soil for the cultivation of grapes, but that hasn't stopped the Volcano Winery from producing some interesting wines. The Macadamia Nut Honey wine is a nutty, very sweet after-dinner drink; the new Infusion wine steeps Hawaiian-grown black tea—a new industry for the winery—with Macademia Nut wine for an alcohol-caffine kick. This is not Napa Valley, but these vintners take their wine seriously. If you're feeling adventerous, it's worth a stop. The tasting-room staff is friendly and knowledgeable; the gift store has a selection of local crafts and goods. Tours are available at 10 am or by appointment. It's located just past the entrance to Volcanoes National Park.
