Taste the Season: New Culinary Experiences at Secret Bay

At Secret Bay, dining is more than a meal; it’s an experience shaped by the island itself. Here, the flavors of Dominica are celebrated at their peak, and every ingredient tells a story of place and season. From the vibrant gardens of Botanica to local farms supplying the freshest produce, each offering is designed to connect you to the land, the craft of cooking, and the rhythm of the seasons.
In 2026, Secret Bay is unveiling new culinary experiences that invite you to see, taste, and learn in ways that go beyond traditional dining. Whether it’s an intimate, chef-curated menu, a guided exploration of infused rums, or hands-on cocktail classes, every moment is crafted to immerse you in the flavors, textures, and aromas of the island. These experiences are about trust, curiosity, and engagement — letting the ingredients, the chef, and the season lead the way.
The Discovery Menu at Zing Zing
Zing Zing offers a seven-course discovery menu built around the freshest produce of the day, sourced from local farms and Secret Bay’s own gardens. Each evening is carefully curated by the chef, allowing the menu to evolve with what is at its peak.
Limited to just 20 guests per night, Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM, this intimate dining experience is designed for those who want to trust the chef’s instincts and explore the island’s natural rhythm. Wine pairings are available, and a focused selection of three cocktails, crafted from local fruits and herbs, complements the evening. At US$140 per person, Zing Zing is an invitation to taste the season in real time.
Infused Rum Tasting at Botanica
Botanica is now offering a weekly guided rum tasting that takes guests from garden to glass. Explore Botanica to see the herbs and botanicals used for infusion, learn the process in a short educational session, and sample six house-infused rums. At US$75 per person, it’s a hands-on, immersive look at one of the Caribbean’s most iconic spirits.
Cocktail Classes at Botanica
Botanica’s weekly cocktail classes put you behind the bar. Forage for fruits and herbs at Botanica, craft three cocktails under expert guidance, and take home recipe cards to recreate the experience. At US$75 per person, these classes blend learning, craft, and social connection in a way that feels grounded in place.
From trusting the chef’s choices to making your own drinks from the island’s bounty, these experiences invite you to engage with Secret Bay on a deeper level — where every flavor tells a story and every sip is a moment.
