To Hawaiians, Pono is a way of life.- a commitment to leaving all things in a better place than when first encountered. It’s understanding and appreciating that life can be both simple and complex. A beautiful richness exists within this dichotomy, and the same can be said of Pono Wines.
Proprietor David Sedeno creates small lot wines with grapes sourced and blended from select premium Napa Valley vineyards resulting in wines with great depth and palate-pleasing layers.
The story of Pono can be found on each bottle starting with the etched outline of the island of Oahu. The coordinates beneath the name, 21 degrees north/157 degrees west, bring a traveler to the steps of the Iolani Palace in Honolulu, the residence of the Hawaiian monarchs a nod to our family history traced back to ancient Hawaii. Above our name "Pono" is a golden fishhook. “This is a ‘Makau’” a universal sign in Polynesian cultures for ‘one that provides’ — and good fortune.” David and his family invite you to enjoy a glass of Pono and savor the here and now.
