The sights, sounds and tastes of Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa are a feast for the senses. The palate-pleasing culinary offerings throughout the resort are renowned, so you may not be surprised to know that we have some special food and beverage experiences at Aulani Resort for you as a Disney Vacation Club Member.
In the past, Disney Vacation Club Members sipped mimosas with macarons and reveled in the skill of mixology. We are happy to share that these culinary experiences are back again. Moreover, a new food and beverage demonstration – just for our Disney Vacation Club Members – has been introduced that will immerse Members in the flavors and fun of Aulani Resort.
Welcome to the table where you’ll learn all about sake and poke.
What is in sake? Did you know there are nine varieties of rice that go into making four different types of sake? And poke? During the demonstration, discover the history and origin of this trending food and the meaning behind the Hawaiian word “poke” – to slice or cut crosswise –as you savor Hawaiian style poke bowls. Get ready for a delightful journey into the world of food pairings as you explore how these bold flavors come together.
Each tasting session includes a small plate food pairing that complements the cocktails being served. The first two pairings will come with a different type of poke. The last pairing will have a build your own poke bowl. The Sake and Poke demonstration is for attendees 18 and older only.
Let me share with you a taste of some of the other culinary offerings available to Disney Vacation Club Members.
