Four Seasons Resort Lānaʻi will mark the arrival of May with a slate of cultural programming and dining events tied to local traditions and seasonal themes of renewal. The culinary centerpiece of the weekend is a set of events featuring Chef Nancy Silverton, the James Beard Award-winning chef behind Osteria Mozza in Hollywood, Calif.
On May 1, Silverton will host “A Seat at the Table,” a communal dinner in the restaurant’s private dining room. The evening begins at 6 p.m., with dinner service at 6:30 p.m., featuring a multi-course menu of seafood, meat dishes and dessert, paired with wines. Silverton will introduce each course and discuss the inspiration behind the menu.

The following day, May 2, Silverton will lead “An Afternoon with Nancy,” a smaller gathering centered on a hands-on antipasti demonstration. The event includes wine service and an informal setting for guest interaction.
The weekend concludes May 3 with a Sunday breakfast service curated by Silverton, featuring a selection of her signature dishes, including pizza and house-made gelato.
The resort’s monthlong programming reflects the tradition of May 1 as Lei Day in Hawaiʻi, combining cultural workshops with visiting chef appearances and special dining experiences.
The resort’s Love Lānaʻi Cultural Team will lead a series of hands-on hoolauna classes focused on traditional practices such as coconut and lauhala weaving and lei making. Sessions are scheduled for May 1 at the Great Hall at Sensei Lānaʻi and May 2 in the resort’s Lower Lobby.

Resort officials said the programming is part of a broader effort to highlight local culture while offering guests a mix of experiential dining and educational activities.
