Excursion Volcano winery tour and tasting tour at Hilo

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Discover why paradise is just a sip away during this scenic, sightseeing tour and wine tasting at the Volcano Winery.


Hilo, Volcano Winery, Breath-Taking Panoramic Views, Guided Tour

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive to the Volcano Winery. Located on the Big Island, the Volcano Winery is America's southernmost winery. Upon arrival, take a guided tour of the winery, a unique producer that draws inspiration from volcanic fire and the bounty of the island. What makes this winery even more unique is its high elevation, perched approximately 4,000 feet (about 1,219 metres) above sea level in the middle of volcano country, and the breath-taking panoramic views of your surrounds.


Production Process, Outdoor Tented Area, Premium Wine Tasting, Tea, Local Specialities

During your guided tour, see and learn how tropical fruits, including the yellow guava and exotic jaboticaba berry, are blended with traditional wine grapes, and transformed into vibrant creations that capture the playful spirit of Hawaiian paradise. Of course, no Volcano Winery tour would be complete without a tasting of their premium wines and chilled estate tea, which are paired with gourmet cheese and crackers and served under an outdoor tented area. At the conclusion of your visit, browse the gift shoppe for a souvenir of your visit, then re-board your coach and commence the approximately one-hour drive back to the pier.
