THE TASTING ROOM
RUM 101 GUIDED TASTING
Rum is tricky! Most of it has added colors, flavors and sweeteners. We started Kuleana Rum Works to show that rum can be a world-class spirit and we’ve proven it by being named in the Top 25 Spirits list by Wine Enthusiast, as well as “The World’s Top Rum” by Forbes in 2023. We have two secrets: We make it from fresh cane juice and we are always additive-free! Come learn the Four Rules of Rum and how it’s made, and what you should be wondering next time you buy rum (or any other spirit).
1/2 oz. pour of each rum:
• Huihui • Hawaiian Rum Agricole
• Nanea • Hōkūlei

THE TASTING ROOM
MAI TAI CLASS
Learn to craft the original 1944 Trader Vic’s Mai Tai in a hands-on “talk story” bar lab. Allow our passionate rum ambassadors to brighten your spirit with the historical tale of this awesome and iconic cocktail. The experience will begin with a guided tasting of three of our award-winning rums; Hawaiian Rum Agricole, Huihui, & Nanea. Following the tasting, you will be walked through the process of building a craft 1944 Trader Vic’s Mai Tai using our rums. Measure, pour, shake and enjoy!
CARAVAN TOUR
FARM TO GLASS TOUR
The tour begins at our farm at Upolu Point. While there, you’ll explore our farm and learn the fascinating story of how kō arrived in Hawai’i (hint: not with the sugar industry) and about the amazing Wayfinders who developed it over millennia and cultivated ~30 unique Hawaiian varieties after introducing it as a “canoe plant” 100 years ago. You’ll also witness how we harvest and juice the kō and enjoy a refreshing glass of freshly pressed wai kō (sugarcane juice).
Then, we’ll caravan to our distillery in Kawaihae to delve into the spirits-making process and see firsthand why our rums are rated among the world’s finest.
Finally, unwind with a guided tasting of our award-winning, additive-free rums in the Kuleana Tasting Room at Queens’ Marketplace in Waikoloa Beach Resort
