I noticed there is a winery on Maui. Is it worth visiting? Also wondering about the botanical gardens and if they are worth it.

It is in a very pretty upcountry area, a nice scenic drive from the resort areas and not too far. Can't comment about the wine or the gardens.

This is not a good title if you want any information.

I agree with wliwl that the title of this post is a bit vague and that a reference to Maui Upcountry will make the nature of the question more clear on the main page and thus likely draw forth more answers.

As to your questions - which botanical gardens are you referring to (there are several on Maui). We really liked the Garden of Eden botanical gardens on the Road to Hana.

Regarding the winery area - though we did not tour the winery (we did stop to buy some wine though) we really loved Maui upcountry in general - and the area around the winery in particular (espcially just coming from the moon-like area along Maui's south shore). Upcounty was actually our favorite part of the island. Obviously there are no beaches up there, but the landscape is pastoral and lovely - and the views are terrific. Very, very nice area indeed.

Sorry can't help with a winery on Maui but do suggest you repost your question with an appropriate title if you want to get more reponses.

Being short on souvenir, we both found something agreeable, as noted on day 2 of our Trip Report:

I enjoyed the wine tasting at the Tedeschi Vineyard especially the raspberry wine. Yummy! The ladies pouring the wine were very pleasant.
Also, if you get a chance, have a burger at the ranch store across the street. They make it with their own Maui beef on a grill out on the patio; it was really delicious.

We also visited the Kula Botanical Garden and the Tropical Gardens of Maui. Neither of them was spectacular; didn't make it to the Garden of Eden on the Road to Hana, but I hear that one is really beautiful.
