Taking place on three islands, Hawaii Food & Wine Festival is, indeed, a movable feast

Share

This may be the ultimate movable feast -- and fest. An international lineup of more than 100 chefs, culinary personalities and winemakers will gather on three Hawaiian islands for the fifth Hawaii Food & Wine Festival.

The festival launches Aug. 29 on Hawaii Island before moving to Maui for festivities Sept. 4-6. Guests can then follow their noses to several venues on Oahu from Sept. 9-13.

A roster of notable chefs powers the lineup of events, each with its own admission prices. Here’s a taste of what’s scheduled:

The participants include Michael Meredith of Meredith’s Restaurant in Auckland, New Zealand); Paul Qui of Qui in Austin, Texas, and Ming Tsai of Blue Ginger in Wellesley, Mass. From $250.

Sept. 4: You can tee off with celebrity chefs, golf pros and winemakers at “Roy’s Golf Classic” at Kaanapali Golf Course, in Lahaina on Maui.

Sept. 10: “Chopstix & Cocktails,” an event on the pool decks of the Modern Honolulu, focuses on the creative crafting of cocktails. Attendees will find Asian food dishes for sampling, prepared by chefs including Kenichi and Kentaro Chen of Shisen Hanten, Akasaka, Japan; Charles Phan of San Francisco’s Slanted Door and Sang Yoon of L.A.’s Lukshon. From $225.

Sept. 12: At “Keiki in the Kitchen: Food, Fitness & Fun” at the Honolulu Zoo ($5), children (keiki in Hawaiian) and their parents can participate in a full day of activities, including cooking demonstrations, a “made in Hawaii” marketplace and fitness challenges.
