Deer Valley — The next course in Deer Valley Resort’s Taste of Luxury series features Michelin 3-Star Chef Massimo Bottura for exclusive VIP meet-and-greet receptions and six-course Italian dinners with wine pairings the evenings of December 16, 17, and 18, 2022, in the world-class resort’s Fireside Dining location at Empire Canyon Lodge.

“We are incredibly grateful for Chef Massimo for traveling from Italy to be the star of our Taste of Luxury events for three consecutive evenings this December,” says Deer Valley Resort VP of Food and Beverage Jacob Musyt. “Our culinary and beverage teams are excited to work alongside Chef Massimo and source the highest quality ingredients and curate complementary wine pairings to create an imaginative, robust menu of fine Italian cuisine.”

An innovator and restauranteur for more than 30 years, Chef Massimo Bottura is one of the world’s most innovative culinary figures. His Michelin 3-Star restaurant, Osteria Francescana in his hometown of Modena, Italy was nominated #1 on The World’s Best 50 Restaurants list in 2016 and again in 2018. He is the author of Never Trust a Skinny Italian Chef and founder with his wife of the nonprofit Food for Soul to fight hunger and combat food waste. In 2020, Chef Massimo was appointed Goodwill Ambassador under the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), and Osteria Francescana was awarded the new Michelin Green Star for its commitment against food waste and in favor of a more equitable and sustainable food system.   

Originally designed to assist French travelers in the late 1800’s, the MICHELIN Guide has evolved into the highest echelon of restaurant rankings in the world. The Guide rates more than 300,000 establishments in over 30 territories across three continents, and the 3-Star designation, earned by Chef Massimo, is the MICHELIN Guide’s highest honor.
