Building on two consecutive years of the successful 100 Mile Cocktail program, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts expands its scope this June 2014 with Local Flavours, a worldwide campaign that goes beyond the glass to encompass food offerings and other culinary experiences found within a 100 mile (160 kilometre) radius of each property.  The wide-ranging offerings, including popup dinners, distillery partnerships and all-local menus, illustrate the commitment from Four Seasons to creating epicurean experiences that immerse travellers in their surroundings.

The Local Flavours programme showcases the best local products and experiences available with the aim to support communities while driving home a high-quality experience for the guest. Examples include:

• A 5-course menu at Four Seasons Safari Lodge, Serengeti includes traditional East Africa recipes and ingredients, many of which are sourced through a partnership with a local farm. The menu is paired with an exclusive selection of wines from the Western Cape, served in Kula's Restaurant wine cellar.
• The Hampshire Afternoon Tea tasting menu at Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire featuring estate-grown produce and honey harvested from on-property hives
• Czech Republic is well known for its high-quality beer production. For this reason, Four Seasons Hotel Prague has created a special menu that will be available at CottoCrudo Bar and Lounge from June to August.
•  “Meet the Neighbours” tours of Mansa Organic Farm through a partnership with Four Seasons Resort Nevis, West Indies; Mervin “Mansa” Tyson himself guides guests through rows of fruits and vegetables, picking fresh mangos, star fruit, and pomegranates to sample en route
• Four Seasons Hotel Firenze has created three special dishes which contain locally sourced herbs that are grown inside the Florentine Community Garden “Orti Dipinti”.

Utilising the bounty of each property's destination, as well as partnering with neighbouring farmers, distillers and food artisans, is a core component of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts' food and beverage programming. “Through Local Flavours, each hotel and resort is shining a light on the truly one-of-a-kind culinary experiences that make its destination unique,” says Vice President of Food and Beverage for the Americas Guy Rigby. “The campaign showcases the best that our locales have to offer in fresh, interactive ways that often go beyond the dining rooms and into the communities.”

Local Flavours is available to guests and patrons at select Four Seasons properties worldwide this summer. Additional information and recipes can be found on Taste by Four Seasons at taste.fourseasons.com.
