"According to the World Tourism Organization, more than 50 percent of travelers choose gastronomically interesting destinations for recreation. Last year, the gastronomic festival at the Rosa Khutor resort was attended by almost 30 thousand guests. This season we also expect a high level of interest in its events. Moreover, the main theme of the gastrofest will be "Southern Cuisine" in the broadest sense. We did not limit ourselves to our region. Therefore, different options of southern gastronomy will be presented: from the Caucasus to Latin America. In the partner restaurants of the festival, they will also prepare Italian dishes, and in the Peruvian cuisine cafe they will offer specialties of this southern country. What could be better than coming to the mountains for a vacation, taking a couple of hiking trails, breathing fresh air, and then enjoying delicious food?" - says Valentin Shin, brand chef of the restaurants of the Rosa Khutor mountain resort.
