Tedeschi Winery in Ulupalakua, HI
Yesterday mid-morning we traveled to the only winery on Maui. It is located in the Upcountry in the little town of Ulupalakua. When we left Central Maui it was 81 degrees, and when we arrived in the Upcountry it was 69 degrees.
The road to the Tedeschi Winery parted with the Road to Hana early on. Although it was a two lane highway, it was in very good condition with wider lanes. The scenery was just beautiful and we pulled over to take pictures several times.
The Tedeschi Winery offered a tasting room, a small gift shop, and lovely landscaping. We did not take advantage of the guided tours, but wandered around admiring the grounds.
On the way back, we ventured over to Makawao, the cowboy town. We ate at Cassanova's Italian Restaurant where we dined a few weeks ago. I chose the same thing...Bavarian Ham with melted brie cheese on fresh homemade focaccia bread. YUM.
After stimulating the economy of Makawao, we leisurely drove back to the condo. We relaxed on the lanai with freshly made Pina Coladas while I pondered how I would be able to squeeze my feet back into captivity after the freedom of flip flops! Thoughts of returning home have started to creep into paradise as the count down of the last week begins! (groan)
