The Wine Garden

Boyfriend was looking for some local Kauai cigars on our vacation. After not finding what he was looking for at ABC store, big save mart, etc we stopped here on our way to the Koloa plantation.
The cigar was very nice. We enjoyed it on our last night there

We stopped in here on our way to the south shores in search of Kauai cigars. They had a very large selection. Unfortunately they were w bit more than my husband wanted to pay.
But it was an education experience. The shop owner told us the history of the Island Prince Cigar company. Their cigars are made with locally grown Kauai tobacco. Leaves from some other country… sorry I forgot. I don’t smoke these things so I stopped listening and investigated the wine selection.
They did have a good size wine selection for a small store. They also had some beer in a fridge. We didn’t end up buying anything. But it was a pleasant stop.
I’d check this place out of you want cigars, they had more than just one from Kauai. They also had large quanatities avaiable too which is harder to find.

I am a big fan of this place for numerous reasons. First and foremost, the owner is extremely nice and friendly. She is the salt of the Earth, and she encompasses exactly the kind of aloha spirit one would hope to find on the island.
I had called up on a recent visit to Kauai to inquire if she had pipe tobacco along with their assortment of cigars. I was told they do, and when I made a trip to the Wine Garden, I not only found a nice selection of competitively priced cigars and pipe tobacco, but I also found a very nice selection of wine. As stated before, their prices are competitive too. I found a bottle of wine there that only cost $ 2 more than on the mainland.
In the end, I made numerous trips to this place during my trip for both wine and pipe tobacco. The owners of this place are doing it right!!! Thanks again!!! Aloha!!!

Small, but quaint. They offer wine tasting once per month and they know what they are talking about. The owners of the shop are fantastic!

Well, in spite of its name, there is no tasting, drinking or sitting area. But a Great place to buy! Owner offers a spectaluar selection of fine wines from many regions; very nice array of Moscato, sweet white & dessert wines. While on holiday (june11) we picked up a late harvest from Hungary — delicious. Owner’s recommendation was right on; exactly what we wanted. Cool wine stoppers too.

The most uniquely diverse and reasonably priced selection of wines on the island, plus a knowledgable and committed owner.

Wine Wine Wine. We were coming back from the beach and wanted to get a good bottle of Vino for a BYO place.
Well, stopped at the lite we see a big ol sign for wine beer and cigars … perfect!
One of the owners was working the store and we found her both pleasant and knowledgable.
We are from so ca and are fairly knowledgeable about wine. The store had many great bottles of both Sonoma and Central Ca (paso) wines. Turley, Paul Hobbs, Orin Swift, Lyme Callodo etc. Also good internationals … Molly Dooker, lots of 90+ Parker wines if your into that. Note not many bordeaux’s but high end opus and insignia if u want to splurge.
Best part was the wines were very well priced … Only about $ 5 more per bottle on the best prices I get at my deep discounters in ca. — defiantly a surprise on the island.
They also had a great selection of cigars … Although a bit pricey given the high local tax … I think you get that all over the island.
So if u know wine u will love this place, if u don’t but want a good bottle at a fair price, look at the WS and Parker ratings to guide you they have listed on shelf.

The wine selection here seemed relatively limited, but then again, perhaps I’ve just been spoiled here in Cali. They carried a number of very good wines from CA and they had a fairly good collection of local wine.
The only thing that put me off from this shop was the fact that the guy working there when I visited literally read the tasting notes of each wine off the computer while I was trying to choose one to try. I know he was just trying to be helpful, but it became obvious quite quickly that he was no wine connoisseur. But that was okay b/​c I don’t typically ask for help choosing wines anyways.
On another note, when my bf and I visited the shop, we were stoked to find that they carried our favorite cigars, Fuentes! That seriously made our day!
All in all, not the best place on the island, but definitely not the worst either!
