SHOWCASING HAWAII’S CULINARY EXCELLENCE

The Hawaii Food & Wine Festival celebrates the vibrant flavors, cultures, and stories that make Hawaii a world-class culinary destination. Now in its sixteenth year, HFWF has grown into a statewide platform that advances agriculture, education, sustainability, and workforce development while elevating food as a defining part of the visitor experience. By connecting renowned chefs with local farmers, ranchers, fishermen, educators, students, and hospitality leaders, the Festival honors Hawaii’s rich agricultural heritage and strengthens a more resilient and connected food system. Through its programs and partnerships, HFWF continues to generate meaningful economic impact, driving over $27.5 million in visitor spending and raising more than $5.2 million to support culinary education, sustainability initiatives, cultural preservation, and relief for restaurant and hospitality workers in times of need.
