The Grand Del Mar will be offering two signature dining events, a five-course wine dinner at Amaya featuring ZD Wines and a three-course “Supper Club Under the Stars at the beautiful Aria Lawn. The Villas Office or the hotel’s Concierge Team would love to assist you with reservations for these exclusive events. For more detail, please see below:
The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Summer Racing Meet continues through the first week of September. As a benefit of villa ownership, complimentary track passes are available to you and your family – please contact the Villas Office for your complimentary tickets.
While at the racetrack, consider celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Taste of the Turf Club featuring a brand-new menu curated by Chef Bryn McArthur, Executive Chef of the Amaya at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar.
