On a warm Waikiki evening, Legacy In A Glass at the Beachhouse at The Moana Surfrider invites diners into a slow, rigorous tasting that connects place, plate, and bottle. The event takes place in the Grand Salon at Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, on May 28, 2026 at 6:00PM. This six-course dinner pairs historic, collectible wines with bold, carefully composed bites—think Big Island abalone with calamansi aioli, Ahi Wellington with yuzu béarnaise, and a private reserve Cabernet matched to beef cheek bourguignon.
Set steps from Waikiki Beach and framed by the volcanic outline of Diamond Head, the venue blends ocean views and polished hotel tradition. The coastline’s fringing coral reef shapes the offshore seascape, while surf and sand provide a Pacific soundtrack to each course. The Grand Salon’s high ceilings and plantation-era provenance recall the hotel’s 1901 opening, making the dinner both culinary tasting and an immersion in Honolulu’s hospitality history.
What makes this tasting special is the lineup of wines: historic bottles that carry stories of place and vintage. Guided pours focus on technique and provenance, steering conversation toward how soil, climate, and cellar time alter texture and aromatics. Paired dishes emphasize local seafood and island-friendly produce, showcasing how chefs translate those wine stories into flavor. The evening ends with a Penfolds Tawny Port and molasses cake that nods to the region’s mixed culinary influences.
Practical details are clear: guests must be 21 and show valid ID.
