Four Seasons Resort Hualālai, the first and only AAA Five-Diamond and Forbes Five-Star Resort on Hawaii Island, announces the 2023 Winemaker in Residence series, in partnership with Napa Valley-based Domain Harlan wines. With three events planned throughout the duration of 2023, the series will showcase award-winning selections from the family’s celebrated portfolio of wines – including Harlan Estate, BOND, and The Mascot– through interactive programming and an expertly-paired dinner crafted by Executive Chef Richard Polhemus. The experiences will take place at ’Ulu Ocean Grill at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai.

About Domain H. William Harlan

Conceived in 1980 by founder H. William Harlan, the Domain is a family winegrowing endeavor built to last for generations. Under the ownership of the Harlan family, the Domain has evolved through the decades and comprises three Napa Valley properties that form its pillars: Harlan Estate, founded in 1984; BOND, founded in 1996; and Promontory, founded in 2008. The Mascot - a wine made from the younger vines of the three estates - was established in 2012. Each of these undertakings is dedicated to the understanding of the land, and to faithfully translating the respective characters of the individual properties into their wines.
