Hotel Wailea introduces experiences inspired by the iconic luxury Champagne House

We are delighted to announce that we have joined the esteemed ranks of Krug Ambassades as an official partner to the storied Champagne House amongst the group of world-renowned culinary names. The program currently counts 35 partners in the United States, with Hotel Wailea representing the latest partner to take up the Krug Ambassade mantel.

Year after year, the House honors its savoir-faire by inviting its global community of Krug Ambassade Chefs to interpret a single ingredient, crafting unexpected recipes to pair with a glass of Krug Grande Cuvée or Krug Rosé. In 2024, Krug Champagne celebrates the delicate elegance, exquisite diversity and unparalleled potential of flower, as Krug Ambassade Chefs let their creativity bloom.

Embracing this year’s tribute to Krug Single Ingredient: flower, Hotel Wailea’s Executive Chef Ryan Cruz has crafted several new menu items inspired by the beauty and variety of native Hawaiian florals, including an ahi crudo with hibiscus infusion and an oyster dish with edible flowers. The dishes are crafted to pair perfectly with a glass of Krug Grande Cuvée or Krug Rosé, showcasing Chef’s artistry and the unique flavors of Maui.

In October, Hotel Wailea will continue the yearlong celebration by hosting an exclusive culinary collaboration dinner and tasting experience with Chef Justin Cogley of Michelin One Star and Krug Ambassade Aubergine at L’Auberge Carmel in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. This grand celebration of Krug x Flower will take place in Hotel Wailea’s famed Treehouse, which is suspended among canopies in the property’s mango and avocado orchard, complete with stunning island views. More details will be coming soon; watch this space or sign up for our newsletter to learn more.

We invite you to elevate your stay at Hotel Wailea by adding the exclusive Krug x Flower Experience to your suite booking. This luxurious offering features two complimentary bottles of Krug Champagne—one in your sophisticated Hotel Wailea suite and one in your private poolside cabana. After being welcomed with Petrossian caviar, you will be pampered throughout your stay with a private cabana rental, poolside snacks, and a bespoke flower arrangement in-suite. You will depart Hotel Wailea with a signature Krug x Flower bag as a memento. Available through June 30, 2025, suites start at $1,349 per night with a three-night minimum stay, based on availability.
