Grapes - A Wine Store

The store is cozy (200 sq feet!) and specializes in wines not commonly found in super markets. Grapes offers you a selection of over 100 different wines from around the world, with most wines priced between $10-$13 per bottle (of course this doesn't stop us from buying Brunello's either). The proprietor of Grapes is Randy Nunokawa. Randy is committed to finding you the best wines for the best valu

e. He tastes all wines prior to sale to assure you of quality and to help you with wine and food pairings, (Hey, it's a hard job, but somebody has to do it!). Our Location...

Some of our first time customers have a hard time finding Grapes. We're located in the town of Hilo on the east side of Hawai'i Island at the intersection of Aupuni Street and Kilauea Avenue. On the makai-side (ocean-side) of Kilauea Avenue and fronting Aupuni Street are the new court house and a drive through coffee shop. Grapes is located on the mauka-side (mountain-side) where Aupuni Street intersects Kilauea Avenue; right behind the stop light. Or, look for the local landmark—Kawamoto's Okazuya. Grapes is three shops down from Kawamoto's as you head towards Café 100. Yep, this is a small town where most directions are given based on landmarks.
