WINDSTAR Cruises and the James Beard Foundation have resumed and strengthened their culinary partnership.
The collaboration will see three themed cruises per year hosted by a James Beard Foundation-affiliated chef, beginning in 2022, with dates and chefs to be announced soon.
The themed cruises will include chef demonstrations, as well as a hosted four-course dinner.
Each of the chefs will provide recipes for the sailing, which will also be featured on Windstar’s menus across the fleet and sailing regions.
The partnership also includes a variety of events and cross-marketing promotions, plus sponsorship status for the James Beard Awards in 2021.
Windstar has partnered with the Foundation for the past five years (CW 09 Feb 2017), and the new cooperation extends until 2025.
The Foundation’s mission is to celebrate, support, and elevate those behind the United States’ food culture, and champion a standard of good food anchored in talent, equity, and sustainability.
This mission aligns with Windstar’s commitment to fresh and local epicurean experiences around the world.
