Patr\u00f3n Barrel Select Tequila and a Chaminade Patr\u00f3n cocktail<\/p><\/div>\n

Chaminade Resort & Spa<\/a> in Santa Cruz has lots of news to share including a decadent Easter brunch this Sunday (with egg hunts!), a unique Patr\u00f3n tequila program, and the completion of a multi million dollar room renovation.<\/p>\n

Easter buffet<\/strong>
\nThe Chaminade offers its annual Easter Brunch buffet from 9am-3pm; the price is $61.95 (adults), $18.95 (kids 6-12), and free for kids under 6. Selections include honey ham with Jack Daniels glaze; rosemary and garlic encrusted lamb leg; a seafood bar with fried calamari, peel and eat prawns, and more; omelets made to order; Belgian waffles with fresh berry compote; gourmet salads; cheese ravioli; and spinach and cheese mini quiches. Desserts include chocolate fondue and a sundae bar. There will be a special kids\u2019 menu with items like mini pancakes and mac-and-cheese. Kids can enjoy Easter egg hunts at 10:30am, 11:30am, 12:30 p.m., 1:30pm, and 2:30pm, and appearances by the Easter Bunny. Egg hunts are for hotel and dining guests only. Call (831) 475-5600 for reservations.<\/p>\n

Patr\u00f3n Tequila program<\/strong>
\nThe Chaminade is the only resort in Santa Cruz area offering Patr\u00f3n\u2019s \u201cBarrel Select\u201d program, which they launched in January. Through this program, businesses can do a taste testing and hand-select their own \u201cbespoke barrel\u201d of Patr\u00f3n aged tequila. This is equal to about 27 cases. Because each barrel has been in Patr\u00f3n\u2019s aging room for a specific period of time, no two are alike. Chaminade chose a Reposado that had been aged for 9 months in a Hungarian Oak barrel.\u00a0 It\u2019s a blend of tahona and roller mill produced tequila, characterized by an aroma of citrus, fresh wood and light vanilla.\u00a0 \u201cWe wanted to be able to offer our guests and the locals something unique and different,\u201d said Kevin Herbst, general manager at Chaminade.\u00a0 \u201cThis barrel is exclusive to Chaminade and there’s not another tequila like it-which is exciting!\u201d The quantity is limited, so Herbst encourages anyone interested to come in for a taste soon.\u00a0 Customers can try the tequila in a variety of ways. Two options are the Chaminade Paloma (Patr\u00f3n Reposado tequila, grapefruit juice, agave nectar, lime, topped off with Cava Freixenet and dash of salt) or the Renovation-rita (Patr\u00f3n Reposado Tequila, Cointreau, lime, and orange juice).<\/p>\n

Hotel Renovation<\/strong>
\nSpeaking of renovations, the Chaminade recently finished a $7.9 million renovation. All 156 guest rooms and corridors\u2014located across 11 villas\u2014were transformed. The new designs were inspired by themes such as \u201cvintage technology\u201d (railroads, etc.) and \u201ceclectic, bohemian styles from the artisan community of Santa Cruz.\u201d You can book an overnight stay online<\/a> or call 800-283-6569. Be sure to browse the web site <\/a>for assorted packages, which include family- and romance-inspired options.<\/p>\n
