Wine and Waves: Frank Family Vineyards and the Hyatt Regency Maui Collaborate with a Series of Unforgettable Events January 27-29

January 8, 2026 (Calistoga, CA) — Frank Family Vineyards, one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated wineries, has announced a multi-day event series at Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, taking place Jan. 27–29, 2026. The series will feature a curated lineup of tastings, culinary experiences and cultural events, culminating in a beach cleanup and fishpond restoration project at the Waihe‘e Coastal Dunes & Wetlands Refuge, one of Hawai‘i’s most culturally and ecologically significant coastal landscapes. The beach cleanup will be hosted in partnership with 4ocean as part of Frank Family’s ongoing “Frank for a Cause” charitable giving campaign and long-term commitment to environmental stewardship.

Set on Ka‘anapali Beach, the AAA Four Diamond–rated Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa provides an oceanfront backdrop for the event series. From an exclusive wine tasting and sunset lūʻau to an intimate winemaker dinner, each of the week’s events reflects the winery’s signature blend of refinement and approachability. Resort guests and residents will also have the opportunity to engage with General Manager and Senior Winemaker Todd Graff, who has guided Frank Family’s wines for more than 20 vintages and played a key role in establishing the winery’s reputation as a world-class producer of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

The Maui beach cleanup marks the first stop of Frank Family Vineyards’ 2026 nationwide cleanup series, part of its ongoing partnership with 4ocean, a leader in the clean ocean movement since 2017. Through its efforts, 4ocean has recovered more than 45 million pounds of plastic waste and other man-made debris from oceans, rivers and coastlines worldwide.

Since 2024, Frank Family supported the removal of 37,500 pounds of trash and plastic from oceans, rivers and coastlines worldwide, with additional community cleanup events planned for 2026. Frank Family has pledged to remove 50,000 pounds by July 2026.

“We look forward to welcoming Frank Family Vineyards to Hyatt Regency Maui for a series of experiences that unite world-class wine with meaningful cultural programming,” said Fred Findlen, General Manager of Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa. “From honoring Maui’s traditions to engaging in hands-on environmental stewardship, this collaboration embodies the spirit of connection and mālama ʻāina that defines our resort and our community.”
