Four Seasons Resort Maui is kicking off the holiday season with the Resort’s first-ever pop-up restaurant in collaboration with Wally’s Wine & Spirits, a trailblazer in the wine, spirits, and culinary space with permanent locations in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Las Vegas.

From Nov. 26 to 28, 2021, Wally’s #FSMaui Pop-Up will present open-air wine dinners, an under-the-stars lounge, an indulgent Champagne brunch and more, all curated in collaboration with Wally’s President and Principal Christian Navarro and Executive Chef Ryan Kluver.

“I can’t think of a better way to open up the Resort’s holiday celebrations than alongside our long-time friends and collaborators at Wally’s,” said Four Seasons Resort Maui General Manager Ben Shank. “Together, we’ve designed wine menus for our Elite Suites and curated the award-winning Four Seasons Maui Wine & Food Classic. And now, the Pop-Up will offer our guests yet another relaxed yet refined dining option at which to celebrate all that we’re grateful for this Thanksgiving Day Weekend.”

Deemed “sommelier to the stars” for his work with Wally’s high-profile clientele, Navarro has hand-selected wines and spirits to pop up alongside Wally’s including Marciano Estate winery, Aleksander wine, Laurent-Perrier Champagne, RUMOR rosé, The Dalmore whisky, and El Cristiano tequila.

At the helm of the beverage experiences for the weekend is Resort Sommelier Brendan O’Leary. “I’m so excited to not only to introduce our guests to some exceptional brands and vintages but to give them the opportunity to connect with the world-class vintners and distillers who will be joining us as well,” says O’Leary of the intimate weekend of events.

A portion of the proceeds from the weekend will benefit Maui Food Bank, providing hunger relief locally to those in need.

Aleksander Wine Dinner

Sasha and brother Al bring both White Labels and Reserves to the Pop-Up, to pair with Wally’s classics such as Grilled Spanish Octopus, Wood Oven Baked French Sea Bass, Burgundy Truffle Cream Pasta, and more.
