Windstar Cruises has announced five new chefs for its 2026 James Beard Foundation sailings, the latest milestone in a 10-year collaboration that has redefined culinary travel at sea. This season, select voyages will feature wines from the GALLO Luxury Wine portfolio, typically reserved for private tasting rooms.
The 2026 season brings together James Beard Foundation affiliated chefs and luminaries like José Garzón, Belinda Bishop, mother-daughter duo Kirsten and Mandy Dixon, Gabriel Kreuther, and David Uygur. Complementing this roster of acclaimed chefs are some of California’s most distinguished wine producers: Orin Swift, J Vineyards and Winery, Louis M. Martini, and Denner Vineyards.
