Our Mission
Unite, educate, and inspire the Hawaii sommelier community.
About Us
We will achieve our mission in various ways. Primarily we will give scholarships to wine industry professionals on a need basis in Hawaii with a goal of creating more diversity and inclusion in gender and race. Secondly, we will provide educational events that not only educate, but serve as a networking platform leading to job opportunities, mentoring, and fellowship.
“Our resources and efforts will help the industry in Hawaii overcome the geographical challenges of being on an island where there are additional travel expenses to take exams and educational opportunities are limited.”
— Patrick Okubo, Chairman of the Board
