WITH YOUR FAVORITE CHEF
IMAGINE GOING ON A GROCERY TRIP​
to pick out ingredients for
dinner at a local market and then learning techniques that they use to create a perfectly seasoned dish, where the flavors sing in harmony and notes of spices spark off your tongue. Imagine tasting wine from a storied vineyard you’ll visit tomorrow with a sommelier and comparing it to others in the region in a tasting. Listen to their stories and ask for their recommendations
on their favorite restaurants and cocktails.
It’s not just about the food and wine, but also getting to know these epicurean experts on a personal level. This is Windstar’s James Beard Foundation Culinary Themed Cruise experience, and it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to taste dishes from some of the most sought-after James Beard Foundation chefs and sommeliers/beverage experts.
