ast year Windstar and the James Beard Foundation launched
a partnership to celebrate food– and wine-themed cruises. This season we build upon our relationship with a culinary-themed cruise supported by award-winning chefs, special menu items, and cooking demonstrations by James Beard Foundation chefs on select cruises. The James Beard Foundation was created to recognize and celebrate the chefs, writers and restaurateurs who advance America’s culinary arts. This emphasis on innovation and excellence pairs perfectly with Windstar’s superior service, intimate ambiance and drive to constantly innovate its cuisine. That’s why we’re expanding our culinary events, demonstrations and restaurant menus, giving more Windstar guests opportunities to indulge in memorable meals prepared with locally sourced ingredients by some of the most recognized culinary talent in the world.
