With a diverse portfolio of ultra-luxe properties around the world, Auberge Resorts Collection has always been a go-to for unforgettable vacations. Now, the brand is elevating its offering even further with the launch of Taste of Auberge, a new series of enticing culinary pop-ups, experiences and chef residencies.
Taking place throughout 2022 at 15 of Auberge’s opulent resorts, each event in the Taste of Auberge series will be a collaboration between the resort’s own executive chef and internationally renowned chefs from some of the world’s leading restaurants, with a focus on the local cuisine of each hotel.
Highlights from the epicurean lineup include Nami Nori at Mauna Lani, which sees cult NYC Japanese restaurant Nami Nori head to Hawaii for a two-week pop-up from February 11-24. The event will see Mauni Lani’s executive chef Matt Raso reimagine the winning Nami Nori menu to create a nightly Temaki dinner using local and seasonal Hawaiian produce. Some evenings will also see Nami Nori’s head chef Taka Sakaeda take over to host immersive cookery classes.
