Maui, Hawaii, Upcountry, MauiWine (formerly known as Tedeshi Winery), Cypress Sculpture
auiWine (formerly, Tedeshi Winery), is located upcountry in Ulupalakua. The land has a long history as farm land, sugar cane, cattle and now wine. Originally, they produced wine from pineapples as they experimented with different grapes to determine which were suitable for upcountry Maui's climate. That original pineapple wine is still produced and available as Maui Blanc together with a number of other varietals that have proven successful. In front of the King's Cottage tasting room stood a circle of cypress trees planted in the 1870s that formerly provided a dance circle for hula performances — originally for King Kalakaua and later for any guests of the ranch. In 2012, two of the trees were damaged in a storm. At that time it became apparent that the trees now formed a hazard because of their age and deteriorated condition. Rather than just cutting them down, they commissioned Maui sculptor Tim Garcia to create a series of brilliantly designed and executed carvings from the old trunks.
