The event will also showcase cuisine from St. Regis Princeville’s Kauai Grill & Makana Terrace, Sheraton Kauai Resort’s RumFire Poipu Beach, BarAcuda Tapas & Wine, Hukilau Lanai, and more. Guests will have the chance to pair the extravagant fare with nearly 20 different global wines from a variety of sought-after vineyards.  Dynamic entertainment will be performed by Joyful Noise taiko drumming, Treysara and friends, and headliner Abe Lagrimas, Jr. 

Abe Lagrimas, Jr. is a versatile multi-instrumentalist. Originally from O’ahu, Lagrimas has performed throughout the world on drums, vibraphone and ‘ukulele in many different musical situations. Each of his albums have been nominated in the annual Hawaii Academy of Recording Arts’ Na Hoku Hanohano awards, and his most recent release, Rhythm & Uke, was nominated in the “Jazz Album of the Year” category in 2015.

Throughout the evening, a silent auction will benefit Kaua‘i Lifeguard Association that will include hotel stays, airfare, activities, dining certificates and more as part of The Westin Princeville’s year-long, ongoing effort to give back to its community. The Kaua‘i Lifeguard Association is a non-profit organization that aims to maximize ocean safety in and around Kaua‘i waters through education, training and maintaining high standards of professional and open-water lifesaving practices and techniques. The resort has raised over $60,000 for the Kaua‘i Lifeguard Association through past Jazz & Wine events.
