We stopped by during our trip to Maui and had a great time on our tour. Adrienne was a terrific tour guide. If you are in Maui this should definitely be part of your itinerary.
Ocean Vodka distillery is an interesting and beautiful place in Kula. Andrea was an exceptional guide. It costs $10 for the tour, but it is well worth it. There is a tasting at the end which is a lot of fun.
A great drive up in the Kula area of Maui produced a fun tour and a great tasting of Maui rum and Vodka.Adrienne our 'Super' guide for our visit was exceptional at explaining the distillation process of the local Ocean Vodka and Rum.Our group took home several bottles of the liquor elixir to enjoy back at the condo. A beautiful place to enjoy a wonderful tour.
We learned a lot about sugar cane and how they make both the vodka and rum. Plus our host, Yo, Adrian!, was great. I never knew there was an art to tasting vodka. Our group even got a free gift (shot glass) since we got caught in the middle of a tour bus stopping in.
I love farm and food tours. This tour of Ocean Vodka and now Rum was very entertaining and educational. Our guide took us through the process each step of the way and it ended with a vodka tasting.How convenient it is too, close to Surfing Goat Diary
Not only are their products high quality, but the tour is fun and the view is spectacular! We've been on this tour twice with different visiting guests, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Maui. Dave the tour guide knows his stuff! He recognized us from the last time we were there, so he made things interesting for us by pointing out what's been updated since we were there last. And what a view! Their great lawn is beautiful with the valley spread out beneath them, and the West Maui Mountains in the distance. Facing east, if the cloud cover isn't too bad the view up Mt. Haleakala is impressive! As the title says, even if you're not a vodka or rum enthusiast, you still need to visit! If you do like them, look for their bottles on the mainland and support their business! They deserve it!
What a great side trip to make while in Maui. Had a tour by Gina and it was very informative and fun. The distillery is not very big and the tour really isn't about walking about, more about the information pertaining to this vodka (and now rum!). We learned a lot and it was totally fun to see where the vodka is actually distilled and bottled. The new round bottles are beautiful and remind us of the japanese fish floats that used to wash up on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Oh, and the vodka is wonderful. It really has a unique flavour and is a must have! What a great idea also to have the martini garden and encourage guests to take a clipping home to make a special cocktail from the delicious vodka. The rum also has a really distinctive flavour and you can really tell it comes from the sugar cane. Take this trip up country….it is worth it and the drive is also a lot of fun. You pay a paltry $10 each for the tour but you get to taste the vodka and rum and we also got a free shot glass each. Go! You won't regret it!
Adrien was our guide. Sweet personality and knowledgeable. Answered any questions. We brought a picnic - great fun. Smooth tasting vodka - thumbs up
The location is great. Magnificent views of east and west shores. The tour is short and very informative. The staff is top notch. Well worth the trip.
What an amazing time!! Ivory, you were, awesome. Totally worth the time and drive. Excellent. If you like vodka, it's a must do! And the view is the umbrella in your cocktail.
