HAWAII FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL | Hawaii island
Celebration
The Hawaii Food and Wine Festival (HFWF) is Hawaii's largest food festival, held over three weekends each fall across three islands. Co-founded by two of Hawaii's James Beard Award-winning chefs, Roy Yamaguchi and Alan Wong, the festival showcases Hawaii's rich agricultural diversity and native culinary talent through world-class culinary experiences.
Each year, more than 150 internationally renowned chefs, culinary celebrities, sommeliers, mixologists, and wine and spirits producers are invited to participate in approximately 20 events, ranging from grand tastings and wine dinners to children's cooking classes, wine seminars and more. Unlike other food festivals across the country, HFWF requires participating chefs to use at least one locally grown, raised or caught ingredient in their dishes, connecting Hawaii's farmers, ranchers and fishermen with thousands of attendees each year.
