Building on the resort’s acclaimed Wine Spectator Restaurant Award-winning wine program, the series will debut with a signature weekend hosted by acclaimed Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey. Guests can choose between two exceptional events, or enjoy both: A wine education masterclass and a five-course wine-paired dinner, presented in collaboration with Castle Hot Springs’ acclaimed culinary team: Executive Chef Chris Knouse and Level 2 Sommelier Sarah Foote.
