The Yeatman, a Porto, Portugal-based luxury wine hotel that is a member of Relais & Châteaux, is hosting “The Route of the Stars” featuring a cast of 14 top international Michelin-starred chefs from June 5th to June 7th. “The Route of the Stars” is a Michelin-studded event held across Portugal, which unites Michelin-starred Chefs from across Europe to provide a series of unique dinners in beautiful locations.
This will be the third consecutive year The Yeatman will serve as host for the star-studded event that pays tribute to haute cuisine paired with the best Portuguese wines.

Launched in 2010, “The Route of the Stars,” which is held in various top restaurants throughout Portugal, enables guests to experience the cuisine of acclaimed Chefs and taste a variety of dishes at the highest gastronomic level in a single meal. This “moveable feast” is an opportunity for the Chefs to showcase their talents and inspire creativity with unique meals in exclusive venues and destinations.

On the first evening (June 5th), guests will be treated to a tasting menu with one of the Chefs seated at each table.
