Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - In Riviera Nayarit, luxury means taste. Gastronomy is a major asset for the promotion of our destination, and Gay Nagle's recently published article in Travel Weekly praising the Gourmet Experience that is taking place in our destination is contributing to attract new visitors.

Nagle's article, entitled "Fine dining on the move on Riviera Nayarit," was published by Travel Weekly, one of the most influential publications among travel agents in the United States. The author describes not only Progressive Dining, which was designed for the Gourmet Experience, but also praises the culinary quality of our destination.

"The reputation for gourmet cuisine in Riviera Nayarit is growing, due to the talent of our chefs and the quality of their restaurants, which take full advantage of Pacific seafood and quality fruits and vegetables from our region," said Marc Murphy, Managing Director of the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The Gourmet Experience Riviera Nayarit represents Progressive Dining that allows participants to make a gastronomic tour of three of the best restaurants in Riviera Nayarit, La Casona at Villa La Estancia, Nicksan at Marival Residences and Grand Velas' Lucca.

This tour consists of an initial 6-course menu that varies according to dishes that have been paired with the wines of Casa Madero. There is a different program every time, and each restaurant offers three options to choose from for the first and main courses, as well as for desserts.
