Each participating chef brings their own signature style, inviting guests on a culinary tour that's both locally inspired and expansive in its exploration of world flavors. The event promises to deliver unforgettable dishes, tying them back to the chefs' personal stories and experiences.

Epicurean Activities with a Purpose

Each day of the event starts with a wellness activity like yoga or meditation, setting the stage for the culinary adventures to come. Guests will enjoy meals prepared using locally-sourced ingredients, offering insight into Costa Rican traditions while relishing the modern dining scene fostered by the visiting chefs. The experience culminates in nightly thematic dinners, not only to savor exceptional cuisine but to foster a sense of community and shared learning.
