Overview
What makes this experience truly unique is that it takes wine tasting completely out of the traditional setting and places it on the open ocean along Oʻahu’s coastline. Instead of a bar or vineyard, guests enjoy a moving coastal journey where every moment changes with the light, water, and scenery.
The experience blends a guided tasting of four craft wines, a locally distilled Hawaiian rum, and artisan chocolate from Lonohana Chocolate, creating a layered tasting experience that feels both elevated and distinctly island-inspired.
What sets it apart further is the combination of ocean adventure and cultural immersion. Guests may encounter Hawaiian green sea turtles, dolphins, and seasonal whales while sipping, and select departures feature live performances by local artists, adding an authentic sense of place.
It’s a rare balance of relaxation, discovery, and connection—designed to feel social and memorable without being crowded or formal.
