Savor Sweet Pineapple and Farm-to-Table Cuisine on this Culinary Adventure
Embark on a tour through a pineapple field and enjoy an exquisite feast in Haliʻimaile, Maui.
Tucked away in the quiet neighborhood of Haliʻimaile, you can find Maui Gold Pineapple growing some of the Islands’ sweetest pineapples.
For more than 50 years, Maui Gold has been cultivating pineapples on the slopes of Haleakalā. Grown in the island’s nutrient-rich soil, each pineapple is hand-harvested at peak ripeness, making for extremely flavorful fruit.
This March, Maui Gold debuted its new Farm & Feast Experience—a dream adventure for pineapple lovers. The venture begins with a guided tour through a working pineapple farm. Throughout the tour, guests will learn about the history of pineapple production on the island, while sampling the farm’s famous fruit. Each guest will also receive a complimentary pineapple—which is pre-approved for out-of-state transportation.

Guests will discover Maui’s exciting flavors in the curated dinner menu, from fresh seafood and meats to island-inspired sides and delectable desserts.
