FRIDAY

EVENTS

Judd’s Hill

Hula Party

The party to begin all parties!

Food! Prizes! Music! Wine! & More!

Please leave your slippahs (and your bruddah’s slippah’s, too) at the door! Here’s an opportunity to meet and greet instructors, musicians, local celebrities, and each other while enjoying great food paired with fabulous wine and other assorted beverages at Judd’s Hill Winery. There’ll be entertainment by the locally famous Maika‘i Gents and the mysterious Miss Moana. Michelle Kiba will be teaching party hula for those who want to loosen up a little more or perhaps just dazzle their friends at the next lu’au. And there will be an opportunity to win a special prize for the best performance of an original Wine Country parody of “The Hukilou Song.” And don’t forget to bring us your fabulous (but slightly worn) slippahs for Soles4Souls in exchange for raffle tickets for equally fabulous prizes, available only at the Judd’s Hill Hula Party!

Friday, October 9, 6pm – 10pm

Tickets $35 ($45 at the door)

Judd’s Hill Winery, 2332 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558

Gaia ‘Ukulele Wine Reception

Sponsored by Mya-Moe Ukuleles

Make This Your First Stop in the Napa Valley!

Stop by Gaia Napa Valley Hotel & Spa on your way to the festival for a complimentary wine tasting by Cartlidge and Browne. At the same time you’ll get a sneak preview of what’s to come with an exclusive, live performance by Hawaiian ‘ukulele super star, Brittni Paiva and have an opportunity to meet Char and Gordon Mayer of Mya-Moe Ukuleles and paruse their fine instruments in a personal setting. Better yet, get there a little early and treat yourself to a massage or “sacred soak” at the SpaGaia, beforehand. (The spa is offering a 10% discount on services to festival attendees and a 15% discount to those staying at the hotel.) Less than half an hour away from Judd’s Hill Winery, a stop at Gaia will make a great beginning to your ‘ukulele weekend in the Wine Country.
