new year, new masters

January 5th, 2012

Beginning in the new year, Park Hyatt Masters of Food and Wine, a global series of seasonally- and locally-inspired culinary weekend workshops will make its official debut at all 26 Park Hyatts. The quarterly Park Hyatt Masters events will take place simultaneously at the turn of each season on the weekends of January 13-15, March 23-25, June 22-24 and September 21-23, 2012.

Through engaging and interactive programming, both resident and visiting gourmands and oenophiles can become ‘masters’ of regional cuisine. Park Hyatt chefs and sommeliers will lead masters-in-training in three hands-on ‘courses’ on the designated day:

In the Field: Interaction with artisanal food or beverage purveyors
In the Kitchen: Onsite cooking and prep workshops
In the Moment: Tips on service and presentation

Sample individual hotel itineraries during the January launch include:

  • Park Hyatt Maldives will host a fishing excursion led by the hotel’s Executive Chef and resident Marine Biologist. The following day, guests will collect local produce on a nearby island and visit a local Maldivian home to learn about regional cooking techniques. After returning to the resort, they will enjoy a traditional Maldivian meal using their fresh ingredients.
  • Park Hyatt Washington will host a local microbrew tasting with the brew masters at PortCity Brewing Company, a winter tea blend tasting with Certified Tea Master Rodrick Markus, and an intimate cooking class with Blue Duck Tavern Chef de Cuisine John Melfi, highlighting the season’s best ingredients.
  • Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi will host an excursion to a local date farm. Following the excursion, guests are invited to a cooking class led by the culinary team where they will learn to prepare the region’s famous hot and cold mezza as well as delicious Arabic sweets.
  • Park Hyatt Beaver Creek is partnering with ski legend Chris Anthony and Silver Oak Cellars to host a weekend of great skiing, delicious food, and decadent wine. Après-ski, enjoy tasty Colorado cuisine prepared by 8100 Mountainside Bar & Grill’s Executive Chef, Christian Apetz, and a wine tasting led by Silver Oaks.
