Alumni Connect at Sonoma Soiree

The Adobe at Three Sticks Wines in Sonoma, California, provided a stunning backdrop for a memorable Punahou alumni gathering on Saturday, Nov. 15. Nestled in the heart of wine country, the historic venue created a warm atmosphere where more than 60 alumni and friends came together to enjoy an evening filled with fine wines, delicious food and lively conversation.

The attendees spanned several generations, reflecting the bonds that connect Punahou graduates. We were especially honored to welcome Mary Bell Fox ’54 Blackstone, daughter of former Punahou President John Fox, whose presence offered a meaningful link to the School’s history. Equally exciting was the participation of recent graduates, including a member of the Class of 2020. 

The energy and enthusiasm from the evening have set an inspiring tone for what’s ahead – most notably, the Punahou Alumni Association Northern California’s annual lū‘au on April 12, 2026. This upcoming celebration holds special significance as it also marks the 100th anniversary of the Alumni Lū‘au. A heartfelt mahalo goes to Trustee Bill Price ’74, owner of Three Sticks Wines, whose hospitality made this event possible.
