Riviera Maya’s celebrated resort Mayakoba will host the Mayakoba Masters of Food, Wine & Golf from June 2–5. The four-day event combines world-class golf with a rich culinary program, offering guests a carefully curated mix of tastings, live demonstrations, chef collaborations and social experiences across the resort.
Golf takes center stage with a two-day tournament at the award-winning El Camaleon Golf Club, where players of varying skill levels can compete while enjoying coastal views and a championship layout. Alongside the golf competition, a diverse roster of internationally recognized chefs and culinary personalities will be on site, presenting special menus, live cooking demonstrations and intimate conversations. The announced culinary lineup includes Richard Sandoval, Abraham Salum, Fernando Trocca, Andrew Ormsby, Felipe Donnelly, Diane DiMeo, Antonio De Livier, Paola Carosella, Maru Botana, Montse Estruch, Flavio Federico, Renzo Garibaldi and Eva Millan, representing a broad spectrum of contemporary and regional cuisines.
The weekend opens with a lively welcome party—presented by major sponsors Aeromexico and Delta Air Lines—where attendees can sample signature dishes from guest chefs alongside curated selections from winemakers, artisanal brewers and tequila experts. That opening evening sets the tone for a weekend of discovery, networking and sensory experiences.
Throughout the weekend, guests can choose from a wide array of activities designed to appeal to both food and wine aficionados as well as golf enthusiasts. Offerings typically include exclusive tastings and pairings, chef-led masterclasses, themed dinners and casual pop-up showcases. Attendees also often have opportunities for hands-on sessions, Q&A panels with culinary personalities and private meet-and-greets that provide personal insight into chefs’ techniques and influences.
Beyond the culinary and golf programming, the event package usually includes lifestyle amenities that enhance the overall resort experience. These can range from access to a dedicated American Express Lounge to leisure-focused features such as a spa day, a ladies’ luncheon and other curated social gatherings. The combination of competitive golf, immersive culinary content and resort comforts creates a balanced itinerary for couples, groups of friends and solo travelers seeking both activity and relaxation.
Tickets for the Mayakoba Masters of Food, Wine & Golf start at $1,199. The ticket price is an inclusive package that covers a three-night stay at Mayakoba, round-trip airport transfers and admission to scheduled event activities. Different ticket tiers and add-on options may be available to accommodate varying preferences—such as upgraded accommodations, private chef experiences or premium tasting sessions—so prospective attendees should review the package details when booking.
The event is ideal for anyone who enjoys fine dining, culinary education and high-quality golf within a picturesque Caribbean setting. Attendees can expect a carefully produced program that highlights regional ingredients, international techniques and the vibrant food culture of the region, all set against the natural beauty and luxury amenities of Mayakoba.
For those planning to attend, consider booking early as packages for boutique culinary and golf festivals often sell out. Early booking also allows more time to coordinate travel arrangements, reserve preferred tee times and select optional experiences that may have limited availability. Whether attending for the competitive golf, the chef-driven programming or simply to enjoy a luxurious weekend in the Riviera Maya, the Mayakoba Masters of Food, Wine & Golf offers a multifaceted experience tailored to foodies and golfers alike.
