If you're looking for a reason to visit the Dominican Republic, also known as the "Jewel of the Caribbean," here it is: the iconic luxury resort will host the return of the Casa de Campo Food & Wine Festival. Happening from October 10th to 12th, 2024, this second annual event will feature renowned Chef and TV personality Scott Conant, along with Chef Hubert Keller for a second year, and James Beard Award winner Chef Shawn McClain. The festival is held in partnership with Invited, a private collection of over 200 golf courses and clubs worldwide. 

“Our inaugural festival was an incredible hit last year, and we are elated to bring it back for a second time even bigger and better than before,” said Jason Kycek, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Casa de Campo Resort & Villas. “This year’s attendees will be fully immersed with premier food and beverage experiences, top-notch tastings, never-before-seen demonstrations, and an infusion of Dominican cuisine, rums, and culinary artisans.”

During the three-day event, attendees can savor food and wine pairings crafted by prominent Dominican and international culinary maestros, including TV personalities like Univision's Raul de Molina. Guests will also experience everything Casa de Campo has to offer, from its latest luxury accommodations at the Premier Club to the newly opened state-of-the-art Forbes 4-star Spa Casa de Campo.
