About the ‘Aipono Awards:
Now in their 10th year, the ‘Aipono Awards are the first high-profile restaurant awards devoted entirely to Maui. They are awards of honor and distinction determined by our readers—the residents and regular visitors of Maui. The prestigious Chef of the Year title is decided by peer review—voted on exclusively by Maui chefs and industry insiders.
The annual ‘Aipono Awards Gala proudly serves the Maui restaurant and hospitality industry with a celebratory evening they can call their own. Restaurant owners are encouraged to bring their managers, chefs, and staff along to participate in the evening’s festivities. The awards presentation is a benefit for the Maui Culinary Academy. Ticket sales generate valuable unencumbered funds for the school, as well as scholarship money for deserving students. Students enjoy the invaluable experience of working alongside sponsor restaurant chefs on the day of the event, in preparation for the gala’s dinner.
Throughout the year, Maui No Ka ‘Oi's ‘Aipono Wine Dinner Series generates additional funds by bringing the industry’s top winemakers to ‘Aipono Award-winning restaurants.
Join us in celebrating 10 years of culinary excellence
as voted by the readers of Maui No Ka ‘Oi Magazine.
