It's time to heat up the usual company retreat. Really heat it up. Like the desert in summer kind of heat. Welcome to Desert Chef, a stay and cook meeting package that puts guests alongside Tinto chefs in a professional kitchen to create three-course, gourmet meals.

That's just for starters. Your team has access to a complimentary meeting space, plus all resort amenities — pool, spa, two Iron Chef Jose Garces eateries, fitness center, morning yoga, complimentary cruiser bikes…we could go on. Additional activities and catering are always available.

Package includes:

  • Overnight guestroom
  • Meeting space
  • Full resort access (including bike rentals) with no resort fee
  • Txoko Cooking Class — An introduction to Basque tapas

Rates start at $149 per person/night.*

Txoko Cooking Class

In the Basque country of Northern Spain, Txokos (Choh-kohs) are exclusive cooking societies, where members gather to cook, experiment with cooking techniques, eat and socialize.

You'll create your own Txoko under Tinto Executive Chef Maria Schmidt and her staff. They'll help you prepare a three-course meal inspired by casual Pinxtos (tapas) from this seductive culinary region.

Guests will be greeted with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails in our commercial-grade banquet kitchen before embarking on the culinary journey. As cooking finishes, you'll be seated in the adjacent ballroom to enjoy your work paired with Tinto house Sangria, plus dessert.

Experience includes:

  • Choice of two menus — Bilbao or Biarritz
  • All food, drinks, instruction and clean-up
  • Take-home recipe packet
