Overview

The Hawaiʻi Food & Wine Festival brings a weekend of culinary events to the Big Island, featuring chefs, winemakers, and culinary professionals from Hawaiʻi and beyond.

Held in resort areas along the Kohala Coast and surrounding locations, the Big Island portion of the festival includes a series of ticketed experiences that may feature grand tastings, wine seminars, chef-driven dinners, and specialty culinary events. Programming varies by year, with individual events and participating talent announced on the official festival website.

The festival highlights locally sourced ingredients and brings together farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and culinary leaders to celebrate Hawaiʻi’s diverse food culture.

All Big Island events require tickets, which are sold separately.
