If you’ve ever dreamed of waltzing into the likes of Gramercy Tavern and given preferential treatment and a specially-curated meal, then taking in a Broadway show with a private cast reception, then a new, first-of-its-kind national dining and global luxury travel club is for you.
The just-launched Taste Club, now accepting applications for membership, is a luxury concierge dining and travel club that gets you access to some of the most acclaimed restaurants in the country—think Mankze, Gramercy Tavern, and Yangban—and dining experiences not available to the public. Members can also take advantage of bespoke travel experiences that include transportation, insider access to premier events, stunning accommodations, and unforgettable culinary experiences. Taste Club concierges secure reservations and arrange experiences on behalf of members, taking the stress out of planning, so you can sit back and bask in effortless luxury and leisure.
Taste Club members have access to top restaurants whose celebrated chefs are eager to share their one-of-a-kind experiences exclusively with members. The club’s founding partner chefs include José Andrés, Rick Bayless, Aisha Ibrahim, Wolfgang Puck and more. A team of luxury travel experts helms the travel side of Taste Club, curating experiences like four nights in New York for the U.S. Open Tennis, a luxury Napa wine tour, or an exclusive trip to Carnival in Venice.
Taste Club has a nonprofit angle as well—partner restaurants are committed to championing independent restaurants, and membership sales will be invested in the future of the hospitality industry and used to unite people through food through financial contributions to nonprofit organizations such as the James Beard Foundation and Zero Foodprint.
Memberships are priced at $7,500 for a one-time initiation fee, with monthly dues of $300. Due to the extremely personalized nature of the club, enrollment is limited and requires a selection process to determine eligibility. Members can, however, share benefits with friends and family, giving them full access to Taste Club's services.
