Montage Los Cabos in Mexico introduces Arte Culinaria, a three-day culinary festival weaving gastronomy, art and culture into a series of experiences inspired by Baja’s landscape.

Set against the striking backdrop of Santa Maria Bay, the festival will unite some of the world’s most influential culinary figures. The inaugural edition brings together Mexico’s two-Michelin-starred chef Jorge Vallejo and The World’s Best Female Chef 2019 Daniela Soto-Innes, joined by three-Michelin-starred chefs Dominique Crenn and Julien Royer, two-Michelin-starred chef Richard Lee and Latin America’s Best Female Chef 2022 Manu Buffara.

The lineup is complemented by talents from the San Pellegrino Young Chef Academy platform, Cris Hanhausen and Erick Bautista, who will host the Welcome to Baja event.

Arte Culinaria also welcomes four of the world’s most influential cocktail institutions: Mexico City’s Handshake Speakeasy, No. 1 on The World’s 50 Best Bars list in 2024, Tlecān, ranked No. 23 in 2025 and Licorería Limantour, ranked No. 52 in 2025. Rounding out the lineup is Dominique Crenn’s acclaimed Bar Crenn from San Francisco.

“At Montage Los Cabos, F&B is not an amenity – it is central to how our guests experience Baja California,” says Marco Ortlam, Managing Director. “Arte Culinaria was created to bring meaningful culinary voices into dialogue with this extraordinary landscape. By anchoring global talent in the ingredients, traditions and spirit of Baja, we create experiences that feel both relevant and deeply connected to place.”

Curated by Xavier Salomon, Director of Culinary for Montage International, the weekend programme is designed as an exploration of every sense, featuring collaborative four-hands dining experiences, cultural workshops, a luxury yacht excursion, immersive beverage tastings, and a signature beachside celebration under the Baja night sky.
