PARK CITY, Utah — Deer Valley Resort is elevating the après-ski experience this January with its Taste of Luxury Series, bringing two world-renowned Michelin star chefs to Park City for intimate dinners and hands-on culinary classes.

The series continues with Chef Diego Briones, owner and head chef of Z’Som in Vienna, Austria, who will host events Jan. 23 and 25. Chef Briones brings 15 years of international experience cooking across Chile, Peru, Canada, Spain, China, the Philippines and France, crafting modern South American cuisine informed by his Chilean heritage.

“January is full of truly unique dining experiences with Deer Valley’s Taste of Luxury Series, and we are honored to host Chef Briones who will be sharing his globally inspired recipes, kitchen secrets, and culinary vision with our guests,” said Deer Valley Resort VP of Food & Beverage Jacob Musyt. “Foodies will have the rare chance to meet Chef Briones, savor an elaborate multi-course meal of his creation, and learn scratch cooking methods and techniques firsthand from this world-renowned chef.”

Exclusive experiences with Chef Diego Briones

Guests can choose between two distinct experiences with the Michelin star chef:

VIP meet and greet reception and dinner on Jan. 23 at Silver Lake Lodge’s Bald Mountain Room features a VIP reception at 6:30 p.m. with canapés and hand-selected wines, followed by a five-course Michelin dinner at 7 p.m. The intimate evening includes opportunities to mingle with Chef Briones, Deer Valley’s director of beverage and the resort’s executive chef. Tickets are $285 for the VIP reception and dinner, or $235 for dinner only.

The hands-on cooking class on Jan. 25 at The Brass Tag at 2:30 p.m. offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn cooking secrets and create culinary favorites from scratch alongside Chef Briones and Deer Valley’s culinary team. The $285 experience includes lunch, wine pairing, a custom apron, recipes and special gifts.
