If celebrating the season of gratitude in Cabo with one of the world’s most renowned chefs - and initial partners of the groundbreaking Danish restaurant Noma - appeals then this series of exclusive dining experiences at Chileno Bay Resort & Residences and Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection is sure to hit the mark.
During Thanksgiving week Chileno Bay guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a private dinner prepared by Chef Mads Refslund in their villas or experience one of his intimate outdoor group dinners on property. Bounty from the Sea of Cortez and produce from local organic farms will help Chef Refslund create a unique menu that reflects the flavors of Baja California.
