Saluti! Toast to living a life of wine at this five-course, wine-paired dinner featuring la cucina e il vino d’Italia (the cuisine and wine of Italy). The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Kaanapali’s Chef Yoshi Kizu, welcomes Michelin-starred chefs whose restaurants have garnered recognition for their Italian-inspired menus and exceptional wine programs. Italy, which is the world’s largest producer of wine, has the widest variety of indigenous grape varietals in the world! Join us for a pre-dinner aperitivo upon arrival before touring through Italy’s famed-wine regions with wine pairings carefully selected by a Master Sommelier. From antipasto to dolce, you’ll be transported to the Mediterranean with dishes that celebrate the culinary traditions of Italy while highlighting farm-fresh ingredients.
Reserve a table of ten (10 tickets) to secure an entire table for your group.
