Honesty. Care. Artisanship. Virtuosos of the Vine.

With apprenticeships across South Africa, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and California, Jason’s winemaking journey spans both Old World tradition and New World innovation.

His global experience has expertly influenced his hands-on approach. A specialist in minimal-intervention winemaking, he is the owner of Holman Cellars in Napa’s Grape Crusher District.

Known for his use of the ancestral method—a method from from the 1500s— to make sparkling wine, Jason has refined this craft through his personal wine label, Uncharted.

OENO Winemaking is Oʻahu’s only winery, where Italian tradition meets island creativity. Produced naturally with little to no sulfites and shorter aging, their wines are vibrant and fruit-forward, with hints of tropical brightness and a clean, silky finish inspired by life in Hawaiʻi.

"Every varietal of heirloom sugarcane has a story and flavor profile all its own. Kō Hana Hawaiian Agricole Rum is meticulously crafted,

hand-harvested, pressed to juice, then distilled to perfection — resulting in one of the world’s finest pure cane rums."

The Ko Hana tour revealed their dedication to preserving ancient sugarcane varieties and their respect for the island's agricultural heritage. By recycling sugar cane byproducts and utilizing unique koa wood for aging, Ko Hana is committed to sustainability and innovation. This profound connection to the land and their re-investment in Hawaii makes Ko Hana Distillers a must-visit for those seeking an authentic and inspiring taste of the islands.
