Maui Retreat

Join vintners Kathryn and Craig Hall with the HALL Family Wines team November 15-17, 2022 for fabulous wine and unforgettable memories in beautiful Maui.  This one-of-a-kind trip is open to wine club members only.

On the first night, we’ll welcome you at Craig and Kathryn’s beautiful and artful home in Maui, right off a semi-private beach. After enjoying one of Kathryn’s famous Mai-tais, we will walk a few steps down to the ocean where you will experience a torch-lit sunset on the beach and  heavy pupus (Hawaiian for appetizers.) Meet new friends who share a love of our wines in this spectacular location. To top the evening off, you will enjoy verticals of Clos Pepe Pinot Noir and Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon, served from magnums.

On day two, enjoy a private snorkel cruise on our chartered catamaran to take this special trip to Molokini Island. There you will see Molokini's pristine reef and incredible diversity of fish. Snorkeling at Maui’s most popular site for  spotting the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle will perhaps be one of the highlights of your trip. The catamaran will make at least two stops, so you can experience snorkeling in different locations and compare your sightings with your friends. Onboard, enjoy a gourmet lunch and a full-service bar.

Early that evening, we will lead you through a special wine tasting where we take an in depth look at how location really affects wine. We will be tasting single vineyard wines from prestigious sites around California. These wines will all be similar in their winemaking style, and varietal, but the main difference will be the location of the vineyard. Learn how the weather, soil and surroundings affect the way the wine tastes. This will be an educational event where you get exclusive access to our winemaking philosophy and will leave with an appreciation for the impact of terrior in wine.

To finish the day, you’ll join us for dancing, traditional cuisine, amazing library wines and authentic local entertainment. We have arranged for a very special private luau on the oceanfront lanai in front of the Andaz Hotel. Even if you’ve been to a luau before, you won’t want to miss this one as we have pulled out all the stops.  We will watch the magical sun go down and enjoy artisan cocktails and pupus. You will be entertained by Hawaiian dancers and performers, and your senses will be delighted with an incredible Hawaiian feast with more food than you will know what to do with. In addition, we will are featuring some incredible library wines at this event.

On day three, President Mike Reynolds will lead you through a tasting of some of the most prized and limited production library wines from the Sacrashe and Rainin Vineyards.  You will enjoy wines from some of our best vintages of all-time, and learn about the nuances from year to year, specifically how that year’s harvest impacted that vintage. You won’t want to miss these incredible wines.  The tasting will be followed by lunch prepared by the famed Andaz Maui Hotel, and enjoy gourmet dishes paired with some of our finest wines, including a sneak-peak at our newest Platinum offering, the Beller Vineyard.

For our farewell event, don all-white clothing as you join us for a magical evening under the stars at Makena Golf Club's 16th fairway, overlooking Makena’s black sand beach. Enjoy an elegant dinner with some of our most sought-after library wines, live music and dancing. Kick up your heels as we dance the night away to music from a Maui-based talented party band. This will be an unforgettable evening, where you can spend time with old and new friends.
