Casa de Campo Resort & Villas once again became the epicenter of the Caribbean’s culinary world with the triumphant third edition of the Casa de Campo Food & Wine Festival, presented by American Express.
Over an unforgettable weekend, food lovers, chefs, and connoisseurs gathered at the Marina Riverside Center and Minitas Beach Club to celebrate the artistry of cuisine, the joy of discovery, and the timeless elegance that define Casa de Campo.
Guided by the charismatic energy of Raúl de Molina and Clarissa Molina, the festival brought together a stellar lineup of international chefs, live entertainment, and exclusive tasting experiences. Culinary luminaries such as Scott Conant, Hubert Keller, Joe Isidori, and the Dominican Republic’s own Inés Páez “Chef Tita” showcased their talent through inspiring live demonstrations and creative pairings that captured the essence of Caribbean sophistication.
Chef Conant delighted guests with his Ricotta Gnudi with Baby Tomato Salsa, Chef Keller refreshed the crowd with his Watermelon Bloody Mary, Chef Isidori shared the heartwarming story behind his mother’s famous Meatballs with Ricotta and Marinara, and Chef Tita impressed with her Tuna Crudo with Coconut Water and Guavaberry, a vibrant tribute to Dominican flavors.
Among the weekend’s highlights was the debut of Ron Ozama, the new Dominican rum brand created by baseball legend David “Big Papi” Ortiz. Led by master mixologist Edwin Castillo, the Ron Ozama tasting station captivated guests with its Blanco, Añejo, and Gran Añejo varieties—each reflecting the depth, character, and pride of the Dominican Republic’s rum-making tradition.
As the sun set over the Caribbean, the festival culminated with the elegant “Dinner Under the Stars” at Minitas Beach Club, where guests enjoyed a beachfront evening of fine dining and live music by Shalim Ortiz.
Throughout the weekend, live bands including Cayo Arena Beat and the Joseph Miller Band, along with DJs Leo, Ronald, and Kambax, kept the ambiance vibrant—perfectly blending rhythm, flavor, and refined leisure in true Casa de Campo style.
This year’s festival was made possible thanks to the collaboration of leading brands in the world of beverages and gastronomy, including Casa Brugal, Chandon Garden, Álvarez y Sánchez, Whispering Angel, Tequila Maestro Dobel, Barceló, Estrella Damm, Corona, Presidente, Café Santo Domingo, Arturo Fuente, Tabacalera de García, La Bodega, El Catador, Romangus, and Ron Ozama, with American Express as the main presenting partner.
