Hali'imaile Distillery Tour & Tasting Room 883 Haliimaile Road, Makawao, HI 96768

"Blonde lady at desk was very rude and condescending to my grandfather. She should be fired. We were extremely surprised to hear that we aren’t allowed to taste or buy anything from the distillery without spending 75$ per person on the farm tour. That’s a horrendous and malicious business model. We heard amazing things about the whiskey and was the sole reason we wanted to stop by. If you want to take a pineapple home after the tour it costs 10$ so avoid that and grab one for 3$ at Costco. We will never be coming back and you should not spend any money here."

"Inexpensive, short tour. Everything is in this one small building - from fermenting mash to distilling and bottling and packing. Was interesting to hear about the process. I thought I was going to prefer the vodka, but the rum was hands down my favorite. Currently the vodka and whiskey are available stateside, so if you like the rum or gin get it while you're there. There are a LOT of pineapple-based items for purchase in the gift shop."

"Fun Tour to do on Maui. Awesome to walk through distilling process, and see where things are done. The tasting is fun. Bummer that you can’t taste all 4 liquors (only 3). Cute warehouse shop for souvenirs."

"We had a ton of fun on a rainy Maui day here at the Hali’imaile Distillery. The beach and whale watching were out due to the rain but this was a great 1 hour tour. Informative and neat to see a craft distillery like this operating on island. The tasting at the end was great, but by rules it’s only samples. Then we had lunch at the Hali’imaile General Store across the street. I highly recommend this short trip up country."

"We enjoyed the small tour. Very informative and fun. The tasting was fantastic. Our tour guide was fun! We even bought some delicious alcohol."
