Everything is made from scratch and as local as we can get it. The Ulupalakua lamb, beef and famous elk are part of our commitment to serve only meat from the Ranch or from Maui.

We're also working hard to realize another goal: to serve only Maui-grown produce. Thanks to Upcountry's abundance, the bustling Grill gets crates of fresh local lettuce, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, pineapple, herbs and more, every morning.

The open-air grill is fired up at 11 a.m., and hungry paniolo stride on in the swinging wooden doors alongside regulars and first-time visitors, ready for lunch. Sit at a picnic table and soak up the view, and you might slip back 150 years to when the ancestors of these ranch hands also took a break in the shade with a cold drink and a plate of Maui beef burgers .

In the heart of Ulupalakua, you will find Maui's only winery, Maui Wine. This little gem is a delight for travelers that want to sip a plethora of flavors.
