On the evening of August 13, guests were treated to an exquisite pairing menu created by Hualani’s culinary team, thoughtfully designed to highlight the depth and character of AXR Napa Valley’s wines. From crisp whites to bold reds, each glass told a story of passion, craftsmanship, and terroir.

What made the evening even more meaningful was the connection behind the label: AXR Napa Valley is owned and operated by fellow Timbers Kaua‘i owners, John Stewart and Sarah Fullhart. Their presence added a personal touch, as they shared insights into their winemaking journey, stories from the vineyard, and the inspiration behind each vintage.

 

As the moon rose over the ocean and conversation flowed, the night was filled with laughter, great conversation, and the shared appreciation of two worlds coming together—wine country elegance and the natural beauty of Kaua‘i. It was a true celebration of community, where friends raised a glass in honor of both place and passion.

We are deeply grateful to John, Sarah, and the AXR Napa Valley team for joining us, and to all who gathered to make the evening so memorable. Mahalo for being part of this special occasion—we look forward to many more moments like these at Hualani’s.
