A sunset cocktail reception, St. Regis’ signature sabrage, and an exclusive seven-course tasting menu defined an evening created to celebrate culinary artistry at The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort.
The occasion brought together guests for a celebration where fine dining, warm hospitality, and a thoughtfully curated setting came together to create an immersive experience that engaged every sense.
The celebration began at sunset
The experience opened with a cocktail reception accompanied by live music, as guests enjoyed one of the most spectacular views in Cap Cana. As the sun set, the evening transitioned into the traditional sabrage, the French ritual of opening a champagne bottle with a saber, one of St. Regis’ signature ceremonies that marks the beginning of memorable moments.
Following this iconic ritual, Diego Muñoz and Ícaro Rizzo, Executive Chef of The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort, presented an exclusive seven-course tasting menu created especially for the occasion.
The seven-course tasting menu
The culinary journey featured creations such as Tartar & Brioche (Wagyu Classic Tartar, Toasted Brioche, Miso Emulsion); Yellowfin Tuna Crudo (Fire Charred Tangerine, Strained Artisan Yogurt, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Smoked Salt and Fresh Chives); Snake River Farm Rib Eye (Baby Onion Tart Tatin, Bone Marrow and Truffle Jus, Fresh Tomatoes); and concluded with the dessert Passion Fruit Sphere (Limoncello Foam).
Dinner was complemented by a carefully curated wine pairing featuring labels such as Zorzal Eggo Blanc de Cal from Mendoza, Argentina; Marcel Deiss Ribeauvillé from Alsace, France; and Château Quinault L’Enclos Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2011 from Bordeaux, France.
More than an anniversary
To conclude the evening, guests received an exclusive gift inviting them to return and continue discovering the culinary vision of NINA by Diego Muñoz, a restaurant that, in just one year, has established a distinctive identity and become one of the most exclusive dining destinations in the eastern region of the Dominican Republic.
With The Art of Celebration, NINA by Diego Muñoz commemorated far more than its first anniversary. The event reaffirmed a vision where fine dining, exceptional hospitality, and a privileged setting come together to create memorable experiences around the table.
