Maui offers enchanting Starlit Nights and Culinary Delights throughout October and November 2024, blending gourmet experiences with breathtaking views of the island’s clear night skies.

A key highlight is the Stargazing & Dinner events at Hotel Wailea. This exclusive experience combines a five-course meal prepared by award-winning chefs with expert-led stargazing. Guests dine on exquisite cuisine while viewing constellations and planets through telescopes, all set in the serene ambiance of the hotel’s stunning grounds​.

Another notable event is O’o Farm’s Twilight Dinner, held in the Upcountry region. This event allows visitors to experience the farm’s sustainable practices through a farm-to-table dining experience. Guests enjoy a fresh, seasonal menu made from ingredients harvested directly from the farm, followed by stargazing under Maui’s clear skies​.

For a more casual but equally delightful night out, Wailea Kitchen occasionally hosts Starlit Nights & Live Music evenings, where diners can enjoy local dishes and live entertainment, all under the stars.

Combining a dinner at Haliʻimaile General Store with a stargazing session is “Starry Nights and Culinary Delights” on Oct. 25 and Nov. 8.

Begin the evening with a dinner at the Haliʻimaile General Store, where Maui’s local ingredients take center stage. Afterward, venture to a private event deck within the serene Maui Gold Pineapple Farm for a stargazing session led by Maui’s Stargazers Anonymous. Under the vast island sky, enjoy a guided exploration of the stars with expert commentary.

Starry Nights and Culinary Delights takes place Oct. 25 and Nov. 8 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Maui Gold Pineapple Farm in Hali’imaile.

These events offer visitors a chance to enjoy the best of Maui’s culinary scene while taking in the island’s natural beauty, making for unforgettable evenings during the fall season.
