The GR8 Experience, the leading international agency for luxurious, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, alongside W South Beach, crafted the return of their highly anticipated epicurean event, Once Upon a Kitchen to Miami in celebration of Formula 1. The multi-layered sensorial dinner, which started in 2017, offered guests an intimate evening with award-winning culinary masters behind the best restaurants around the globe. In collaboration with world-renowned chef Massimo Bottura and his team from Osteria Francescana, this year’s Once Upon a Kitchen united Bottura with globally recognized Peruvian chef Virgilio Martínez of Central Restaurante – voted the World’s Best Restaurant in 2023. Known for his trailblazing multidisciplinary approach to fine dining, incorporating Peru’s biodiversity and rich culture into his cuisine, Martínez fused his style and flavors with Bottura’s iconic Italian cuisine.

Venice is one of the most iconic cities in the world. Distributed over 118 small islands, it seems to lie in the middle of its lagoon like a sleeping beauty in magnificent and motionless eternity. Indulge in an amazing and dazzling adventure through the canals, narrow streets, romantic bridges and majestic open squares of this celebrated city. GR8 will take you to the discovery of the real Venice far from the overcrowded tourist sites. Visit celebrities' favorite lace boutique, create your own piece of art in Murano, enjoy a Michelin starred lunch and a private visit to the only existing vineyard of the lagoon. And if you happen to be in town at the right time, we will secure for you VIP access to the red carpet of one of the world’s most exclusive events: the Venice Film Festival.

GR8 welcomes you to Piedmont! Italy's second-largest region is arguably its most elegant: a purveyor of slow food and fine wine, regal palazzi and an atmosphere that is superficially more français than Italian. But dig deeper and you will discover that Piedmont has 'Made in Italy' written all over it. Here the countryside is gentle, drawn by the most precious vineyards of Italy, cradles of great wines. And then the old roads built in the middle ages , the hilltop villages, the castles, the eno-gastronomic tradition, the sinuous horizons. These are the Langhe, part of the UNESCO World Heritage, magical lands in the hills embraced by the Alps and the nearby Ligurian Sea.

Embark on a culinary journey and discover the world’s most prestigious three Michelin star restaurants. Fine dining is as much art as it is cuisine, and we want to show you a world of infinite food experiences. With GR8 you can access the most incredible restaurants in the best destinations around the world. Not only will we help you select and choose the right restaurants and the right destinations, but we will take you behind the scenes where the chefs themselves will tease your palate with unique dishes.
