Press release from Grande Lakes Orlando:

Dec. 17, 2020

For those who are still searching for the perfect holiday gift, Grande Lakes Orlando has just introduced a “Curated Experience” Initiative for 2021. Designed for those who enjoy truly memorable events, these “Curated Experiences” are designed for couples and small groups who want to celebrate food and wine, immerse themselves in learning and personal growth, and honor arts and culture.

The sprawling 500-acre resort — home to The Ritz-Carlton Orlando and JW Marriott Orlando — is the perfect setting for this weekend-long immersion of exclusive programming. The “Curated Experiences” are designed to appeal to both local Orlando residents as well guests who want to stay the weekend.

This series of intimate, weekend-long experiences will include master classes, guided workshops, immersive demonstrations, and more, led by an array of award-winning chefs, winemakers, jewelers, artists, and wellness experts.

The series kicks off January 29-31 with a focus on wheels, watches, whiskey and wine. The experience will highlight rare spirits from Iron Smoke and thoughtfully-selected vintages from Quintessa. Additionally, internationally-acclaimed BBQ chefs Bruce Kalman (Soulbelly BBQ) and Burt Bakman (SLAB Barbeque), will cook alongside award-winning chef John Tesar, who recently debuted Knife & Spoon at Grande Lakes Orlando, treating guests to a memorable, food-inspired weekend.

The celebration will begin on Friday evening, where visiting chefs and purveyors will come together to create a multi-faceted whiskey and wine tasting. Guests can mix and mingle with the makers in a relaxed, casual environment. The main event will be hosted on Saturday night with a culinary showcase featuring signature dishes prepared by the guest chefs, with a private performance by singer, actor and television personality Joey Fatone. For a complete listing of activities for the first event, visit https://www.grandelakes.com/ResourceFiles/pdf/curatedexperiences.pdf.

Tickets start at $750/person with an exclusive rate available for overnight guests. Additional 2021 “Curated Experiences” will be announced in the coming weeks. For more information on Grande Lakes Orlando “Curated Experiences”, please visit www.GrandeLakes.com.
