Treat your taste buds to an event they’ll never forget by joining oenophiles, gourmands and enthusiasts of the good life as they reconvene on the beautiful shores of Maui June 7-10 in celebration of the 37th Annual Kapalua Wine & Food Festival https://kapaluawineandfoodfestival.com/. Along with host and master sommelier Michael Jordan, renowned winemakers, star-power celebrity chefs and Maui’s own contingent of culinary stars will lead panels and introduce guests to world-class varietals and fine cuisine.
Perennial favorites such as the Festival Golf Tournament, Festival Winemakers’ Dinners, and The Grand Tasting – Kapalua Style, will make an encore appearance and will not disappoint. Interactive wine tasting seminars include sampling of the finest vintages from the Russian River Valley, Pacific Northwest, Italy and New Zealand. The event is held at the world-renowned Kapalua Resort. Click here for more information on this much anticipated event. It’s well worth investigating if you’re staying with us at Sands of Kahana over the June 7-10 weekend.
Maui Film Festival
June 13-17
Along with the films, star tributes, and filmmaker panels, the Maui Film Festival https://www.mauifilmfestival.com/ at the Wailea Golf Resort is about having a good time, Wailea-style. Aloha wear is the dress code at culinary feasts and star-studded parties that take place throughout the resort. The Celestial Cinema at Wailea is located at the Wailea Golf & Emerald Golf Course, on the amphitheater-like slopes of the golf-course driving range.
Its commanding, 50-foot-wide screen is dwarfed by Maui’s majestic volcano, Haleakala, behind it. In the other direction, Wailea’s hillsides roll seductively down to the beach. Its gentle, natural amphitheater slowly fills with thousands of blankets, beach chairs, and bodies, forming an impromptu jigsaw puzzle on the grass. The Dolby Sound System is crisp and clear as night descends. And then the stars come out.
Three other popular events, the Taste of Summer, the Taste of Chocolate and the Taste of Wailea, are also part of the Maui Film Festival. This is a wonderful event you’re sure to love!
