There are moments in life when you stop, look around, and simply cannot believe how far a dream has traveled. This is one of those moments.
As we prepare the 15th edition of Punta Mita Gourmet & Golf, I find myself equal parts thrilled and genuinely amazed. Fifteen years. Fifteen editions of extraordinary chefs, exceptional wines, world-class golf, and — above all — the kind of human connection that only happens when great food and a remarkable place conspire together.
This milestone belongs to so many people, and I would be remiss not to pause and honor those who were here from the very beginning. To the chefs who said yes before there was much of a story to tell — Fernando Trocca, Abraham Salum, Andrew Ormsby, Thierry Blouet, the irreplaceable Luiz, Montse Estruch, and the long and luminous list of culinary talents who joined us in those early editions — I am forever grateful. Your belief in this event helped build something none of us could have imagined alone.
And to Verónica and Stephanie: there are no words adequate enough, but I will try — thank you. Year after year, edition after edition, you have been my pillars. This event exists in the form it does because of your dedication, your grace under pressure, and your unwavering commitment to excellence. I know I speak for everyone when I say this is as much yours as it is anyone’s.
To the countless others who have been part of this journey — the sommeliers, the hotel teams, the golf staff, the sponsors, the guests who return year after year — you are woven into the fabric of what Punta Mita Gourmet & Golf has become.
Now, for 2026, we are ready to celebrate in a way that is worthy of fifteen years. The lineup of chefs and special guests this edition is nothing short of extraordinary, and the setting — as always — is Punta Mita at her very finest, with two Jack Nicklaus Signature courses, the Pacific stretching out to the horizon, and a culinary experience that will stay with you long after you’ve left.
Come and join us. November 5th through 8th, 2026. This one is going to be very special indeed.
