A Culinary Adventure in Hawaii: The US Grand Chapitre 2025


The US Grand Chapitre took place from May 14th to 28th, 2025, in the beautiful islands of Hawaii. This event was a spectacular celebration of culinary excellence, camaraderie, and the vibrant spirit of Hawai‘i. Attendees were treated to a carefully curated program that showcased the very best of Hawai‘i’s culture, history, and cuisine.

One of the more unusual excursions was an unforgettable adventure aboard Atlantis XIV, the world’s largest high-tech passenger submarine. Descending 100 feet beneath the surface, Chaîne members witnessed vibrant coral reefs, diverse marine life, and even a sunken shipwreck, all from the comfort of a spacious, air-conditioned interior with large viewports.

In addition to this underwater marvel, the Honolulu Bailliage organized a unique wine tasting event. Guests enjoyed Champagne and still wines while submerged in the submarine, making it an extraordinary experience. It is believed that this was the world’s largest ever underwater wine tasting, and an application has been made for the event to be recognized in the Guinness Book of Records.

The US Grand Chapitre 2025 in Hawaii was not just an event; it was a journey through the rich tapestry of Hawai‘i’s heritage, offering unforgettable memories and experiences for all who attended.
