Savor A Taste Of Chile With Omni Hotels & Resorts

Oct 7, 2015
Daily

Omni Hotels & Resorts teamed up with Wines of Chile to provide guests with the opportunity to enjoy authentic Chilean wine and cuisine through the end of this year. Part of Omni’s Flavors of the World culinary series, the new ¡Destinación Chile! initiative offers a dedicated Chilean dinner and bar menu paired with hand-selected wines reflecting Omni’s enchantment with the region.

Available at properties across the United States through Dec. 31, the menu includes unique Chilean fare ranging from traditional favorites like empanadas and choritos (spicy steamed mussels) to sweets like tres leches cake and arroz con leche. Guests can choose to pair the dishes with wines from Chile’s vast and varied growing regions of the country.

“While visiting Chile, our team discovered rustic flavors, warm and welcoming people, a compelling landscape and some of the best wines in the world,” said David Morgan, vice president of food and beverage, Omni Hotels & Resorts. “We have captured the unique climates and incredibly diverse territory that our chefs and culinary team experienced through a cultural immersion in this beautiful country. By partnering with the stellar organizations of Wines of Chile, Chile Oliva, ProChile and Fundación Imagen, and experiencing the culture first-hand, we can truly serve our guests a taste of authentic Chilean flavors.”

Throughout the promotion, each participating hotel will feature eight to 11 hand-selected Chilean wines in its bars and restaurants as well as cocktails made with Chile’s national spirit, Pisco, a grape distillate.

Guests are also able to bring a taste of Chile home with the ¡Destinación Chile! special, offering deluxe accommodations, a bottle of Chilean wine, an empanada recipe card and the traditional Chilean spice Merquen. The deal is available Oct. 14–Dec. 31.

The 2015 ¡Destinación Chile! initiative becomes the ninth annual installment of Omni’s Flavors of the World program, joining past programs such as last year’s Taste Washington and 2013’s Simply street Food.

¡Destinación Chile! was arranged in partnership with the Wines of Chile, an organization comprised of over of 80 member wineries, spread across every wine region of the country and representing 88 percent of the total of exports of Chilean wine.
