Come and toast our 13th anniversary on October 3, 2008 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort on the beautiful Kohala Coast of Hawaii Island Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort.

As usual, the Taste itself will open to the public at 6:00 p.m. and run ‘til it's all gone or to 8:00 p.m., which ever comes first.

Indulge your appetite and show your support of local agriculture as the finest culinary talents in Hawaii showcase the bounty and diversity of Hawaii island's agricultural products.

Featured chefs will create extraordinary dishes using locally grown range-fed meats utilizing every part from the tongue to the tail. In addition, lamb, pork, mutton, and goat will be prepared, all complemented by fresh fruits and vegetables from Hawaii Island farmers.

Exceptional food products like Kona coffee, specialty teas, micro brewed soda, ice cream, candies, malasadas and other prepared foods will round out the evening’s fare.

Tickets are $35.
