Four Seasons Resort Hualalai Announces Culinary Pop-Ups for Summer

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai announces a dynamic schedule of culinary experiences for the summer season. The first and only AAA Five-Diamond and Forbes Five-Star Resort on Hawaii Island, Four Seasons Resort Hualalai will showcase the best of its culinary talents through innovative pop-ups and events in unique settings across the expansive Resort.

“2024 has already been an exciting year for the Resort, marking a new chapter for our culinary journey as we welcomed the esteemed chef Tyler Florence to open Miller & Lux Hualalai earlier this year,” says Charlie Parker, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. “Building upon this excitement, we are thrilled to showcase our promise of exuding exceptional hospitality to our guests by introducing additional unique culinary experiences. For this summer season, we promise to delight our guests with incomparable food, ambiance and service, crafting memories that linger long after the last bite.”

Enhancing the already impressive culinary program at the Resort, new pop-up dining options will be available to guests as well as several specialty experiences throughout the summer.

Mi Casa Taqueria - Mi Casa Taqueria will be making a popular return to the Resort after last year’s successful pop-up. Located at the Surf Shack, a beachfront locale with pristine views of the sparkling Pacific Ocean, the menu will feature a collection of savoury starters, fresh ceviche, and an innovative selection of gourmet tacos. Inspired by the flavours of his hometown along Mexico’s Pacific coast, Executive Sous Chef William Perez Ledesma and his team will blend ingredients from the Hawaiian Islands and flavours of Mexico. Mi Casa Taqueria will be open for lunch and dinner on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm through August 2024.

In addition to the new full-service dining options, the Resort will also debut a collection of culinary-focused programming and events.
