General Info
About Us
In 2006, Food and Wine named Vino one of "America's 50 Most Amazing Wine Experiences." Created by Master Sommelier Chuck Furuya and restaurateur D.K. Kodama, Vino reflects the energy and passion of two partners who love great food and wine.
"Chuck Furuya, quite apart from quietly being one of the most competitive blind tasters and pool players on the planet, is a great sommelier and leader in the profession. He knows a lot about a lot of subjects, but he most of all loves sharing his knowledge with the community. His reputation across the globe and his teaching contributions to young sommeliers have put Hawaii on the map as a wine destination," said Larry Stone, Master Sommelier and General Manager for Rubicon Estate.
The essence of Vino is this joy and love of sharing a glass of good wine among friends. Modeled after an Italian enotecca, the rustic, warm ambience of the restaurant is the ideal setting for Furuya to share his enthusiasm and expertise with guests. The relaxed, convivial atmosphere allows everyone who visits Vino to feel as if they are part of the extended "Vino family."
