 The Taste of Hawaii is back

The Taste of Hawaii is the original food and wine tasting event for the islands and on Kauai.

Produced by the Rotary Club of Kapaa and countless community volunteers, this year marks the 30th Taste but is actually the 31st year, since last year was canceled due to the extreme floods that ravaged Kauai. Many of the Rotarians were busy volunteering helping distressed flood victims and there was not enough manpower to hold the event. The Taste is back!

The most memorable event

I ever witnessed at the Taste of Hawaii, The ultimate Sunday brunch was when  a couple got married with  a small wedding party right in the middle of Smiths Paradise at the 2016, "Taste."

That's how you get married on a budget in class. The best part— all the money goes to charity. "Taste" is not only a taste of food but a taste of community, a taste of charity and a taste of fellowship."Taste"

is a community event sponsored by the  Kapa'a Rotarian's. All profits go towards scholarships for our local youth and fund international projects such as providing safe drinking water and sanitation in schools for people in poverty-stricken areas around the world.

Many visitors plan their vacations to Kauai during the Taste since to them the Taste is

what Kauai is all about. There is not a better event in the state of Hawaii, you will also see many VIP's. Many politicians frequent the Taste along with news personalities, singers, actors, and even yours truly.  ;-)
