“The Ocean Vodka Organic Farm and Distillery is more than just a stop for spirits tasting; it is a true sensory experience and a guaranteed highlight of any Maui trip. From the moment you arrive, the meticulously maintained grounds and stunning landscaping set a serene, tropical tone.
The centerpiece of the visit is undeniably the view from the lawn. It is truly breathtaking, offering a panoramic expanse that perfectly frames the afternoon. We were lucky enough to watch the sunset from this vantage point, and the sight of the sun dipping below the horizon was nothing short of perfect—a moment straight out of a postcard.
Beyond the scenery, the culinary offerings were outstanding. We started with the legendary Poke Nachos, and they were a game-changer. The clever use of crispy wonton chips in place of traditional nachos was a chef's kiss moment, providing the perfect, light crunch for the fresh poke topping.
Our entrees continued the trend of excellence. My kids raved about the DaBeest Burger, unanimously declaring it one of the best they had ever tasted. I had the Chopped Salad with Sesame Ahi, which was delightful—fresh, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. My wife’s choice, the Poke Tacos, had an outstanding presentation that matched the quality of the ingredients inside.
The Ocean Distillery has immediately secured a spot on our must-visit list for every future trip to Maui. Whether you come for the cocktails, the view, or the food, you will leave feeling rejuvenated and thoroughly impressed. Highly, highly recommended!“

“This place was fantastic. The service was personal and world class. All of the workers there clearly had personal interest in making sure our experience was fantastic and that we loved the food. They even took extra special care to ask what we were doing next what we have already done our vacation and gave us a list of things that we should check out that were local before we left the island. We will absolutely go out of our way to come back to this place again.“

“I usually order the plain cheese pie which is delicious but today, at the suggestion of a friend, I tried the veggie. Beautiful! Cherry tomatoes, shaved red onion, spinach, feta…. Such a perfect combo especially with the slightly chewy crust. So satisfying.“

“Had one of the best beef burgers of my life! The jalapeño avocado burger after a day of horseback riding at Triple L ranch was to die for. I love the little store here too - cute souvenirs and t shirts. Even if you aren’t horse back riding, which I highly recommend, this part of the island is quite charming and worth the drive just to explore!“

“Genuine French food prepared by a perfectionist genuine French chef. Sunday Breakfast outside overlooking South Central Maui with a view of the Pacific Ocean and Mauna Kahalawai (West Maui mountains.) The best eggs Benedict I have had. The savory crepes were also excellent. Family run, small restaurant. I would highly recommend.“

“Overindulged! The joyful experience of our 36th anniversary dinner will be one that we’ll be chasing over and over again! We were overindulged from the moment we sat down at the table with the most beautiful view, surrounded by soothing live music. The care and concern from each and every staff member was evident, making sure that the best possible bottle of wine for our meal was chosen, that our water glass was never too empty, that each plate delivered was well executed and well presented and explained, when done each time dishes were taken away quickly, the pacing of the meal was well done, just everything and everything! Perfection! And a special note to Sasha- we already noted during our meal service- the finesse and skill you brought to the level of service was just outstanding! Kudos to you and to the team that supports you in making sure that each of your tables gets the attention that they deserve! To say that our anniversary dinner was memorable is truly an understatement! It will be that feeling of being so well taken care of and that every orchestrated element enhanced our celebration will be what brings us back over and over again. We already are making plans to come back and I know we will be coming back over and over again! With our deepest appreciation! …and then the food! Truly the best farm to table experience on Maui! From the amuse buche course(s!) that wet our appetite for more goodies to come. The locally sourced ingredients shined with their freshness and the finesse in which they were presented. Two highlights were the Maui onion soup presented with the perfect amount of cheese and puffed pastry topping- just perfectly seasoned. And then the Haleakala filet mignon, once again perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned and topped with compound butter that was melted at table side with rosemary. (It feels like we are saying perfect too much! But we do mean it!) Then to end the evening celebration with our chocolate lava cake surrounded by white and milk chocolate fondue with banana bread and fresh fruits was simply scrumptious! Chef Junior Ulep, Mahalo for our special night, with our deepest grateful hearts, we appreciate your mana and the joyfulness in which you have chosen to feed us and our fellow patrons at Kula Lodge Restaurant!“

“We had reservations because it’s highly recommended as it’s a gem of a place and were greeted kindly - hostess asked us if we have even been to Maui Wine and showed us where the restrooms were- we didn’t even ask so I thought that was so kind of her. Every single staff member came to our table asking how everything was and if we needed anything, cleared empty dishes ect. - Explained the types of wine and our food selections for us and we left with some wine and jelly 🥰 It was an amazing experience! The ride there is beautiful as well. Thank you all at Maui Wine 💕“
