Escape Winter to a Culinary Destination curated by Neil Perry


MasterCard has just launched MasterCard Priceless Cities in Australia and has called upon Australia’s most awarded chef, Neil Perry, to help curate an appetite for paradise. MasterCard hopes to bring their cardholders an experience like no other, which will see two VIP culinary escapes, one at One&Only Hayman Island and the other at the Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley.

Encouraging people to travel boldly and live every day to the fullest, cardholders will be able to enjoy privileged access to unique experiences to over 40 priceless destinations globally. Neil Perry says he is excited to create and host the exclusive five-course degustation dinners at both events.

“I’m looking forward to creating some spectacular dishes and I’ll be working with my team to design a special degustation experience with food lovers in mind. Naturally given the locations there will be an abundance of fresh seafood on the menu in Hayman Island, whilst the native ingredients of the Blue Mountains will inspire the dinner in Wolgan Valley,” said Neil Perry.

Launching in July at the iconic private island sanctuary of One&Only Hayman Island, the first VIP culinary escape will be surrounded by astonishing natural beauty, where guests will be able to swim, dive, sail and marvel at the Great Barrier Reef.

If a warm escape during Winter doesn’t motivate you as much as a cool escape during Spring, then perhaps the second VIP experience on offer will get you excited. Relax among the Greater Blue Mountains in New South Wales at the Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley retreat in November. Set on its own private 7,000-acre carbon-neutral wildlife reserve, the resort combines ultra-luxury style with a quintessentially Australian bush experience. Guests looking to wind down can simply kick back and take in the incredible surroundings, and for those looking for a little adventure, opportunity abounds.

The all-inclusive travel packages will see guests sipping cocktails and sampling canapes prepared by Neil, in one-of-a-kind settings, for more details about each experience see the packages outlined below or simply head here.
