PARK CITY, Utah — Deer Valley Resort is enhancing its après-ski offerings this January with the return of its Taste of Luxury Series, an exclusive culinary program that welcomes internationally acclaimed Michelin-star chefs to Park City for intimate dining events and immersive cooking experiences.
The series continues later this month with Chef Diego Briones, owner and head chef of Z’Som in Vienna, Austria. Chef Briones will headline events on January 23 and 25, sharing his globally inspired approach to modern South American cuisine. With 15 years of experience cooking across Chile, Peru, Canada, Spain, China, the Philippines and France, his work is deeply influenced by his Chilean heritage and international background.
“January is full of truly unique dining experiences with Deer Valley’s Taste of Luxury Series, and we are honored to host Chef Briones,” said Jacob Musyt, Vice President of Food and Beverage at Deer Valley Resort. “He will be sharing his globally inspired recipes, kitchen secrets and culinary vision with our guests. Food lovers will have the rare opportunity to meet Chef Briones, enjoy an elaborate multi-course meal created by him, and learn scratch cooking techniques firsthand from a world-renowned chef.”
