DEPARTURES
ANOTHER
BUZZ
A wine or whiskey-tasting getaway is not uncommon on a menu. Still, if you are looking for a palate refresher where alcohol is not the central aspect, we have assembled four luxury destination experiences that are equally intoxicating.
JESSICA HALL
Tenuta di Murlo, Umbria, Italy – Honey Flight
The head gardener on the 18,000-acre estate leads guests in a beekeeping experience followed by a honey tasting flight – the three kinds of honey all created on property: wildflower honey, acacia honey, and Linden Honey.
Nayara Springs, Costa Rica – Coffee Flight
Adults-only Nayara Springs, nestled in the rainforest below the Arenal Volcano, has a dedicated espresso bar: Mi Cafecito. The expert baristas can create Costa Rican coffee flights for guests, showcasing the different roasts (light, medium, dark), treatments of the beans (washed, natural, honey), and growing altitudes - all roasted onsite.
UXUA, Trancoso, Brazil – Juice Flight
Dr. Jullian of UXUA’s Vida Lab spa can create custom juice flights from locally grown fruits and herbs specifically formulated for the couple and any goals they might have (better sleep, weight loss, stress release…).
Gili Lankafushi, Maldives – Curry Flight
The chef at Gili Lankanfushi creates a unique curry flight for guests with ten types of curry from different countries.
