Paradise can be described as a state of delight—and for anyone who appreciates good food, fine wine and breathtaking oceanfront resorts, it can also be defined as Cayman Cookout.
I embarked on my maiden journey to the Caribbean’s premier culinary event this past January, and it’s safe to say it won’t be my last. Set to enter its eighth year, the annual epicurean celebration is co-hosted by The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and French chef Eric Ripert, whose flagship New York City restaurant, Le Bernardin, holds three Michelin stars. Each incarnation of the event brings world-famous chefs and wine and spirits experts together to contribute to island- and trends-inspired discussions, demonstrations and tastings. Last year’s extravaganza featured such luminaries as Anthony Bourdain, José Andrés and Rick Bayless, along with Daniel Boulud, Daniel Humm, Martin Picard and award-winning chefs from The Ritz-Carlton properties worldwide. All provided a source of constant (not to mention mouthwatering) entertainment in one of the most beautiful settings in the Caribbean.

Less than two hours from the San Diego border, this vast, craggy valley is not just a hotbed for foodies and the sip-and-swirl set. With a muy tranquilo vibe, it’s the ideal place for instantly slipping into vacation mode, winding along dirt roads to indulge in one-of-a-kind outdoor dining and dream-big architecture that embraces the land. You can even take off on a helicopter to the ultimate hilltop picnic. “We are making history as we speak,” says Fernando Perez Castro, a vintner. Consider this your lesson—splash of flinty rosé included.

“Right now there is this boom in Mexican wine,” says Fernando Perez Castro, owner of Hacienda La Lomita, one of the valley’s next-level wineries helping to produce the region’s 2 million cases annually. “A new generation is stepping up the quality,” says Castro, cradling a 100 percent grenache. The winery just added a new alfresco eatery, TrasLomita, and a VIP tasting room.
