Enhanced Creekside Dining
Cress on Oak Creek, L’Auberge de Sedona’s award-winning fine dining venue, will offer enhanced culinary experiences in honor of the resort’s 40th anniversary. Throughout May, Executive Chef Ryan Swanson will create a special tasting menu as a nod to the classic 1980s dishes that guests of L’Auberge de Sedona enjoyed at the resort’s opening. This “short story” menu will incorporate subtle nods to Frenchman Jean Rocchi, the chef who played a pivotal role in the resort’s inception, using select locally sourced ingredients for dishes that honor his Alsacian roots, such as flavorful sumac and Urfa-crusted lamb rack.
Additionally, Pastry Chef Donna Yuen has created a signature anniversary dessert that will grace the dinner menus from February through May. The dessert will change seasonally, beginning with profiteroles enriched by vanilla gelato and chocolate sauce— a classic dessert modernized with Yuen’s undisputed pastry talent.
The celebrations continue at the bar of Cress on Oak Creek with the exclusive Ruby Red Cocktail. As another nod to the resort’s opening year, the 1980s-inspired Ruby Red Cocktail pays tribute to the traditional gemstone for 40th anniversaries. It will be presented alongside a pair of ruby earrings and a ruby pendant designed by an Arizona jeweler. The Cress Bar will also offer 1980s-themed cocktails with a 2024 twist, including a colorful Cosmo and French Martini.
Celebrate with Curated Resort Experiences
In honor of L’Auberge de Sedona’s 40th anniversary, guests can enjoy a special signature spa treatment at the resort’s L’Apothecary Spa, including a Celebratory Path of Possibility featuring a mimosa scrub and champagne treatment, Citrus & Bubbles, a facial and a Human Design Reading. Additionally, the resort has curated a 40th Anniversary It List featuring 40 on-property experiences for guests to explore for its 40th anniversary. The list highlights offerings from the list of Daily Resort Activities, such as stargazing and meditating at blissful Serenity Point, as well as from the on-property La Galerie Art Program and more.
As a finale to the 40th anniversary celebrations, Cloth & Flame will host a creekside dinner at the resort in May. The glamorous evening will allow guests to toast to L’Auberge de Sedona’s impressive history and a special room package for an unforgettable weekend getaway.
