Is it an art gallery? Is it a restaurant? Or is it a pricey club? Actually, a combination of all three and yet something more, as well. The Vintage Cave Honolulu (VCH) at the bottom of Shirokiya Department Store at Ala Moana Center is in an unlikely (though convenient) location, but it is definitely NOT the real estate in which is resides that defines this unique experience.
The Vintage Cave identifies itself as a “private society” in concept and evokes images of ancient European caves in Lascaux and Altamira, where people once recorded their history in the form of art for thousands of years. The caves are symbolic not only as places to create art and record history, but as themselves, being art. For it is in caves where gemstones and rare crystals are created, natural works of art on their own. And the best wines, of course are also stored and aged in caves. Tying it all together is homage to Hawaii’s great affinity to its own caves formed in the birth of the island as lava tubes, decorated with meaningful petroglyphs, symbolic of our island culture and custom.
