Tasting Kauai hopes you had a tasty holiday season and a joyful New Year! We have some fun foodie events to share for January, including our redesigned East Side culinary tour. We are happy to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the Hawaii Tourism Authority and we will use the funds to make our unique culinary tours even better!

A North Shore tour is still being designed, but here’s what we have locked down so far. We will begin with an authentic look at Hawaiian culture and  tour Waipa, an ahupuaa that uses ancient agriculture systems such as a restored fishpond and loi (taro patches). The farm cultivates two market gardens and our tour ends with an introduction to Hawaii’s Staff of Life: taro. With a million dollar view of Hanalei Bay, we will have an exclusive lunch at Makana Terrace, inside the luxurious St Regis Resort. Hawaii-born Leanne Kamekona, executive chef for the Princeville Resort, will be there to meet our guests and share her abundant aloha. We are still working on the details, including the last leg of our tour, so stay tuned foodies! Continue Reading →
