About Wine The Experience
History & Values
We love wine. Why? We love wine because of how it tastes, how it makes us feel, what it makes us think about. We enjoy a taste with all of the senses: hearing the cork pop out of the bottle, the different aromas, the rich beautiful colors, and the way it touches your tongue. Ultimately, how it makes us feel. We can imagine where it’s from in the world, what the weather was like, the time period, it’s history. It connects us to who we are, our memories, while creating new ones.
We believe wine is for everybody, not reserved for any class or culture. It is the oldest drink in the world. It is a social activity and can evolve into an art of appreciation. We want to encourage and promote bringing people into the lifestyle of enjoying wine. We want to educate people from all levels of wine Experience, on the art of making and appreciating wine. Our vision is built around people, and creating an Experience they would be delighted to share with family and friends and colleagues alike.
Wine The Experience was initially sparked with a conversation in December 2002, to integrate our love and appreciation of wine and bring that to an experience, something unique & distinctive, classy, & modern to our home in Hawai’i. Several months later during the fall of the following year the project finally got underway. Our doors officially opened in historic Kapahulu, in Kilohana Square, on October 4, 2004.
We created Wine The Experience as a venue where people can come to enjoy The Experience of making their own wine. We offer quality wines at a great value. But not only are our customers making a good wine – they are creating their own wine, where they can have personal pride in crafting what they will enjoy and drink and share. They initiate the fermentation of the grape juice, and in about 7-8 weeks, they come back to bottle, cork, and label with custom designs. We create an elegant atmosphere that is fun and friendly. We welcome you to come Experience!
