Deer Valley Hosts Michelin Star Chef Giancarlo Morelli

The next course in Deer Valley Resort’s Taste of Luxury series features Michelin Star Chef Giancarlo Morelli, one of Italy’s most recognizable culinary icons, for a series of exclusive events including a VIP meet-and-greet reception, five-course Italian dinners with wine pairings, an intimate hands-on cooking class followed by a coursed lunch, and a farewell brunch with an Italian cooking demo. Events with Chef Morelli will take place from March 10, 11, and 12, 2023 in The Brass Tag restaurant located at The Lodges at Deer Valley.

“We are thrilled to welcome Chef Giancarlo Morelli to Deer Valley for the third installment of our Taste of Luxury Series this winter,” said Deer Valley Resort Vice President of Food and Beverage Jacob Musyt. “The entire resort team is looking forward to showcasing his renowned Italian Cuisine in our beautiful alpine setting.”

One of Italy’s most notable and respected culinary masters, Michelin Star Chef Giancarlo Morelli is well-known for his commitment to simplicity, balance, and respect for ingredients, even from a young age when he was often described as a “child prodigy.” Chef Morelli has celebrated restaurants in Sardinia and Milan, and the award-winning Pomiroeu restaurant in Seregno, Italy where he is deeply connected to the lands and local ingredients of age-old producers and purveyors.

In more recent years, Chef Morelli has partnered with other prominent Italian chefs such as Chef Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana and Chef Aurora Mazzuchelli to promote and immortalize Italian cuisine around the world. Admirably, Chef Morelli has also worked with Norbert Niederkofler and Paolo Ferretti to develop the organization CARE’s – a project designed to broadly advocate for a more sustainable and ethical approach to food.

Chef Morelli has a penchant and deep reverence for rice, which is unusual for Italian chefs. Previously, Chef Morelli’s signature risotto has won the distinction of Italy’s “Riso Gallo Risotto dell’Anno.”

Deer Valley invites guests to a series of distinctive and intimate culinary experiences with Chef Morelli on March 10, 11, and 12, 2023.

Pago on 9th’s 13th Annual Pumpkin Tasting Menu

From Pago on 9th:

Pago on 9th
13th Annual Pumpkin Tasting Menu 
+ Orange Wine Pairing 

Friday, October 28 – Monday, October 31, 2022
(Full Menu + Pumpkin Menu available)
Food $45 + Wine Pairings $34 

For the thirteenth year in a row, we are offering orange wine pairings for all the gourd goodness chef has created. Orange wines refer to white grape varietals that have been fermented on their grape skins, which gives the wine its orange or amber color. I assure you no oranges were harmed (or added) in this winemaking style. What you get is a bit more texture/body and depth than its white wine counterpart. Personally, I love orange wines year-round, but fall reminds me of their importance. ~ Scott Evans 
First Course

SPICED PUMPKIN SOUP
(V, GF) + Cilantro, Thai basil

Barbara Fores “Abrisa’t” ‘17 + GARNATXA BLANCA + Terra Alta, Spain (3oz)
Second Course

PUMPKIN CARBONARA
(VG) + Shiitake mushroom-bacon, cured egg yolk

*Aransat ‘21 + PINOT GRIGIO + Friuli, Italy (5oz)
Third Course

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
(VG) + Apple cider gastrique, graham cracker

Subject to Change “Disco” ‘21 + SAUVIGNON BLANC + California (3oz)

PAGO on 9th | 9th & 9th | SLC
Make a reservations here* 
*Please note in your reservation if you plan to enjoy the pumpkin menu so we can prepare the appropriate amount of dishes.
