The Rotary Club of Kona Mauka presents the 14th annual Valentine’s Wine Tasting Celebration and Fundraiser Feb. 13 in Kailua-Kona.

The annual event features fine wines, chef inspired foods, live music and silent auction benefiting local community projects and scholarships. This year the event will be held at historic Hulihee Palace in Kailua Village.

“We are thrilled to host this year’s fundraiser at Hulihee Palace. The Palace is an inspiring location on Kailua Bay and very important historic landmark. What a magical, special place to celebrate with your Valentine while supporting community projects and scholarships for local students,” said Gary Rovelstad, Kona Mauka Rotary president.

Only 200 tickets are available and this event sells out every year. Cost is $100 per person. Call Carol at 896-2397 or email rotaryvalentines2016@gmail.com to purchase tickets.
