Nago Pineapple Park

Saturday, we took a trip to visit the Nago Pineapple Park with a couple of friends. Despite getting us lost a little bit, due to my excellent directions, we had fun!

The entrance of the park. Cheese!

First, you hop in this pineapple cart and take a mini tour of the pineapples.

The air smelled like sweet, sweet pineapple!

Can you tell when a pineapple is ripe?

At the park, they sell three different pineapple wines and have an all-you-can-drink taste test section of the wines. Joey was the only one to taste the wines because I was driving, and the other two were underage. Before we left, we were sure to buy all three wines, so I could try them too!

The 3 different wines! 'Sweet', 'Dry', and 'Sweet Kiss' which is much smoother.

After the wine section, there is another all-you-can-eat section of pineapple cookies, cakes, pies, and of course, pineapples! Other than the fresh, sweet pineapples, my favorites dessert was the pineapple wine cake! Yummy!

Then of course, a huge gift shop of anything pineapple and more!

This is Habushu, otherwise known as Habu liqueur!
They drown the poisonous habu snake in the wine,
which is supposed to have medicinal purposes
... and very, very expensive!
