The Grand Pacific Hotel, in collaboration with InterContinental Hotels and Resorts will be hosting a first-kind event in Suva and throughout Fiji that will integrates the cultural richness of Fiji with the art of weaving and the world of fine wines.

GPH says the event, which is held at the Rara lounge at the hotel, will allow guests to partake in a delightful evening of artistic exploration every last Friday of the month from 6pm to 8pm.

The first event will be on Friday.

They say under the guidance of Peter Sipeli from guided walking tours Suva, and skilled local artisans, participants will learn the intricate skill of weaving and story-telling.
