PRNewswire go to original
 Puerto Vallarta - If the thought of a chimichanga on the menu leaves you cold, then you're in for a treat: Mexico Boutique Hotels (MBH) has rounded up a tasty selection of Epicurean Escapes, tailor-made for tempting your palate.
 From the Pacific Coast to the Yucatan Peninsula, MBH handpicked hotels that offer a tantalizing glimpse of Mexico's rich culinary art, where ancient traditions blend with European influences and modern trends, making the most of the country's rich cornucopia of vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices. Here's just a sampling of where exquisite food meets a sense of place:
 • In San Jose del Cabo's Casa Natalia, for example, French-born executive chef Loic Tenoux awaits with dinner at Mi Cocina, with its award-winning blend of Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine, paired with a three-night stay in one of 16 art-filled havens. Rates start at $855 USD per package per couple.
 • If you'd rather roll up your shirtsleeves and man the comal yourself, Meson Sacristia de la Compania in Puebla offers a 3-hour cooking class that will uncover culinary secrets you can take home with you in their one-of-a-kind recipe booklet. Rates per package for two people start at $880 USD.
 • Or perhaps chocolate is one of your favorite food groups: At Hacienda Xcanatun near the "White City" of Merida, they sweeten a three-night stay with a basket filled with Ki'Xocolatl - locally made artisan chocolate bars - among other delicacies. The package for two people starts at $1,350 USD and includes taxes.
 Most packages are valid through mid-October. For more details on these and other Epicurean Escapes, visit http://www.MexicoBoutiqueHotels.com or call 800-728-9098.
 Buen provecho!
