SHOWCASING HAWAII’S CULINARY EXCELLENCE

The Hawaiʻi Food & Wine Festival celebrates the vibrant flavors, cultures, and stories that make Hawaiʻi a world-class culinary destination. By connecting chefs with local farmers, ranchers, and fishermen, we honor the islands’ rich agricultural heritage while driving $26.5 million in visitor spending and raising more than $5 million to support culinary education, sustainability, cultural preservation, and relief for restaurant and hospitality workers in times of need. Join us in savoring the creativity, collaboration, and impact that define Hawaiʻi’s unique place in the culinary world.
