Rediscover the Art of Gathering with the Luxury Group by Marriott International

The third edition of the Luxury Dining Series celebrates the joy of connection through shared dining and beverage experiences

Singapore (ANTARA/PRNewswire)- The Luxury Group by Marriott International is launching the third edition of its Luxury Dining Series, offering curated culinary journeys under the theme "Across the Table". From August to October, the series will take place at luxury hotels including JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa, The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Phuket, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto, and will conclude with an experience at sea with Luminara, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

Each experience is thoughtfully curated to celebrate curiosity and connection, as chefs step beyond the kitchen to engage with guests. This year, key program moments have been identified across the series to facilitate authentic connections with the destinations, ingredients, and each other:

Chefs [At The] Table, an intimate evening where renowned chefs sit among the guests and share personal stories

The Grand Banquet, an immersive dinner celebration at iconic local sites celebrating heritage, culture and local rituals

Heirloom AM/PM, highlights a single heirloom ingredient or technique through collaborative menus

Page to Plate extends the journey with a curated collection of favorite recipes selected to deepen guests' experiences beyond the table

The Shared Memory Menu invites guests to explore mixology through flavors tied to memory and place

Spirited Social brings the art of mixology to life with dynamic bar takeovers led by expert bartenders

Journey To Exceptional Taste comprises chef-guided tours or masterclasses that uncover cultural exchanges and techniques, culminating in an intimate meal that brings those connections to life

"This year, the focus of the Luxury Dining Series is to highlight the emotional heart of dining, exploring how stories unfold, flavors linger, and connections deepen when meals are shared," says Oriol Montal, Regional Vice President of Luxury, Marriott International Asia Pacific excluding China, and Regional Vice President of Singapore. "Each destination in this year's series is truly unique, with an incredible lineup of talent eager to create experiences that celebrate not only what is served, but what is shared. Our hope is that discerning travelers will be inspired to discover somewhere new, and in doing so, rediscover the art of gathering."
