For a truly unique wine experience, add a visit to MauiWine on the slopes of Haleakala to your list. Formerly Tedeschi Winery, it’s been producing wine since 1974. Last January, a history room was added extolling the rich culture of Ulupalakua Ranch and of life 1,800 feet above sea level. Today MauiWine is distributed around the globe. Go on your own and tour the grounds or sign up for a tasting in the King’s Cottage and Old Jail.

Her community involvements include volunteering at her daughter’s schools, coaching soccer and volleyball (glorified snack mom), being on the board of both Richardson Bay Audubon Center. Currently residing on a floating home in Sausalito, she enjoys all water activity, including learning how to steer a 6-person canoe for the Tamalpais Outrigger Canoe Club.
