First opened in 1849 during the Polk administration, the 'Ulupalakua Ranch Store is the closest place to eat lunch, and you won't find any better place in Upcountry.

Inside the store is a small deli where you can order prepared deli sandwiches or grilled sandwiches using meat from the ranch, including fresh beef or even elk. You'll never find fresher beef than here and the sandwiches are grilled to order on the outside veranda.

While your lunch is being prepared be sure to wander through the store and look at some of the interesting signs on the wall. When your lunch is ready you can eat right there on the veranda or take it back over to the winery grounds where you can enjoy it with a bottle of cold wine.

After lunch, it's time to reverse course, but there's one more stop to make before the trip is over.
