We’re all about supporting locally grown food, and that extends to beverages. We feel extremely fortunate to enjoy rum made just a few miles away, with sugar grown on Kauai, as well as Kauai spring water. Naturally, the Koloa Rum Co. is  our liquor of choice. Here at Tasting Kauai, Dan Lane is not only the photographer, but bartender. Since we had an abundance of nutritious passion fruit juice, Dan blended it with Kauai Spice rum, and came up with this refreshing drink. I like it when I can feel healthy while enjoying a cocktail! Continue Reading →

Yeeehaw! It’s the season for luscious Kauai white pineapple! These babies are low-acid, sweet, and so tender, you can eat the core. Tim O’Connor of Olana Organic Farm says, “White pineapple is peaking right now. There’s lots of beautiful, super-sweet large fruit.”

Kauai white pineapple from Olana Organic Farm, Alana Farm, and Hole in the Mountain Farm is only available at farmers markets. Click on their links to see which markets each farm is at. North Country Farms also has white pineapple available at the Saturday Namahana market. Continue Reading →

Tasting Kauai is a big fan of the Hukilau Lanai. The food is delicious, and that’s the first requirement that needs to be satisfied. And by going on that criteria alone, you won’t be disappointed. Combine the food with lush landscaping, ocean views and open air dining, and you’ve got one enchanted evening.

We appreciate that owners Ron and Krissi Miller strive for sustainable business practices, and use local products whenever they can. I know this because they have an interactive online menu designed by Real Time Farms. Just hover over an ingredient, and you can see which farm it came from. Plus, I used to work at an organic farm, and I met Ron at the back door every Wednesday with a box full of just harvested produce. Continue Reading →
