The Hawaii Food and Wine Festival is considered to be the premier destination for epicurean events in the Pacific. This annual festival features over 150 internationally renowned chefs, winemakers, mixologists, and culinary personalities every year. There has been significant growth of this event in recent years, as the event went from a 3-day festival with just 30 chefs to the massive event that it is today.
This event is run by a nonprofit organization, the Hawaii Ag and Culinary Alliance. This nonprofit organization has made it their mission to attract both national and global attention to the outstanding culinary talents in the area as well as showcase the diversity in locally-grown products. The point of this is to ensure that the state remains a world-class destination. Because of this festival, the nonprofit has been able to donate around $3 million to local community culinary programs, agriculture, and organizations that support sustainability.
The 2020 Hawaii Food and Wine Festival was taking place in November, but there are no official dates for the 2021 event. You can check back with the official website for the food festival or follow their social media accounts in order to learn about when the dates for the event are actually set. These accounts will also let you know when it’s time to purchase tickets for the event.
