Gastronomy Festival
Published on 13/11/2023
Ahoy, gastronomy enthusiasts! Prepare for an unparalleled culinary adventure as Marina Fort-Louis proudly joins the partners for the 2023 Gastronomy Festival. Orchestrated by the St. Martin Tourist Board, this Festival promises a sensory feast, with Marina Fort-Louis hosting select events on its picturesque grounds.
From November 11th to 22nd, allow yourself to be swept away on a culinary journey, revolving around the star ingredient of the year: the versatile and enchanting Sorrel.
Whether you're a seasoned foodie or a culinary explorer, join us at the Marina as Sorrel takes center stage in delightful forms, from jams and juices to jellies, syrups, reductions, and spices. In St. Martin, Sorrel, also known throughout the Caribbean as Hibiscus, encompasses both the flower and the delightful drink derived from it. The calyces of these flowers impart bursts of color and tartness, contributing to the vibrant tapestry of flavors in this year's Festival.
Amid lapping waves and the salty sea breeze of Marigot bay, join us throughout the Festival for special events at Marina Fort-Louis, featuring Sorrel-infused delights echoing the rhythm of the sea. From the exclusive Food & Cocktail Pairing - November 13th as the sun dips below the horizon, to innovative Cooking Workshops throughout the week with yachts gently bobbing in the background, and thrilling showdown Finals - November 21st between top mixologists and restaurateurs, our Marina transforms into a culinary haven where the Festival's diverse program unfolds.
