Maui's Adult-Only Retreat Unveils Exclusive Krug-Inspired Offerings and Guest Experiences
WAILEA, Maui, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hotel Wailea, Hawaii's only Relais and Châteaux property, is delighted to announce that it has joined the esteemed ranks of Krug Ambassades as an official partner to the storied Champagne House amongst the group of world-renowned culinary names. This prestigious partnership will introduce a collection of culinary events and offerings throughout the property, honoring the longstanding tradition of excellence held by both Krug and Hotel Wailea.
"We are very proud to be named a Krug Ambassade and to offer our guests exclusive experiences inspired by the spirit of Krug Champagne," said Jonathan McManus, Founder of Hotel Wailea and Private Label Collection. "This collaboration is the perfect marriage for our award-winning culinary team and Hotel Wailea, and further enhances our reputation as a curator of incredible events."
Exceptional experiences have always been at the forefront of the Krug Champagne. Since 1843, six generations of the Krug family have perpetuated Joseph Krug's generous vision and pioneering savoir faire. Today, this vision has come to life through the unique Ambassade program, which engages Krug lovers in the culinary field worldwide to innovate in their cuisine with Krug Champagne. The program currently counts 35 partners in the United States, with Hotel Wailea representing the latest partner to take up the Krug Ambassade mantel.
Individuality is the art of understanding that every plot, as one wine, is in itself a single ingredient in Krug Champagnes. Year after year, the House honours its savoir-faire by inviting its global community of Krug Ambassade Chefs to interpret a single ingredient, crafting unexpected recipes to pair with a glass of Krug Grande Cuvée or Krug Rosé. In 2024, Krug Champagne celebrates the delicate elegance, exquisite diversity and unparalleled potential of flower, as Krug Ambassade Chefs let their creativity bloom.
Embracing this year's tribute to Krug Single Ingredient: flower, Hotel Wailea's Chef Ryan Cruz has crafted several new menu items inspired by the beauty and variety of native Hawaiian florals, including an ahi crudo with hibiscus infusion and an oyster dish with edible flowers. The dishes are crafted to pair perfectly with a glass of Krug Grande Cuvée or Krug Rosé, showcasing Chef's artistry and the unique flavors of Maui. In October, Hotel Wailea will continue the yearlong celebration by hosting an exclusive culinary collaboration dinner and tasting experience with Chef Justin Cogley of Michelin One Star and Krug Ambassade Aubergine at L'Auberge Carmel in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. This grand celebration of Krug x Flower will take place in Hotel Wailea's famed Treehouse, which is suspended among canopies in the property's mango and avocado orchard, complete with stunning island views.
Guests can also elevate their stay at Hotel Wailea by adding the exclusive "Krug Champagne Experience" to their suite booking. This luxurious offering features two complimentary bottles of Krug Champagne—one each in a sophisticated Hotel Wailea suite and in a private poolside cabana. After being welcomed with Petrossian caviar, guests are pampered throughout their stay with a private cabana rental, poolside snacks, and a bespoke flower arrangement in-suite. Guests will depart Hotel Wailea with a signature Krug x Flower bag as a memento. Available through June 30, 2025, suites start at $1,349 per night with a three-night minimum stay. Blackout dates may apply.
Hotel Wailea continues to set the standard for luxury and exclusivity in Maui, offering travelers a haven of elegance and serenity coupled with the spirit of aloha. With Hawaii's first Krug Ambassade status, Hawaii's only Relais and Châteaux property continues to solidify its reputation as the premier destination for those seeking the very best in hospitality.

About the House of Krug
The House was established in Reims in 1843, by Joseph Krug, a visionary non-conformist with an uncompromising philosophy. Having understood that the true essence of champagne is pleasure itself, his dream was to craft the very best champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual climate variations. Paying close attention to the vineyard's character, respecting the individuality of each plot and its wine, as well as building an extensive library of reserve wines from many different years, allowed Joseph Krug to fulfill his dream. Six generations of the Krug family have perpetuated this dream, enriching the founder's vision and savoir faire.
