Set amongst the rugged alpine elegance of Aspen, Hotel Jerome’s Epicurean Passport returned for 2026 with an immersive weekend of culinary artistry, where every curated moment was elevated through the crafted brilliance of Waterford crystal.
As the official crystal partner, Waterford played a defining role across the experience, bringing craftsmanship and heritage to the table in a seamless dialogue with some of the world’s most celebrated chefs, sommeliers and mixologists.
At the heart of Epicurean Passport was a series of curated dining moments, each designed to showcase the intersection of flavor, technique and presentation.During both the Night of SHE and the Winner’s Dinner, Waterford crystal framed every course with precision and artistry. Wines were served in Lismore Essence pieces, designed to enhance aroma and expression, while the iconic Lismore Double Old Fashioned added weight and clarity to cocktail and water service. Set against menus that ranged from Wild Bay Scallop Crudo with blood orange and oregano to the bold richness of Lechon Kawali with pork liver sauce, Waterford’s crystal became part of the storytelling. The result was not just a meal, but a multi-sensory journey where craft in crystal mirrored craft on the plate.
Beyond the formal dinners, Waterford extended into every touchpoint of the weekend experience.At the Pop-Up Brunch, a more relaxed yet equally refined setting came to life through sculptural serving and shared moments. Signature pieces including the Lismore Essence Bowl and classic Lismore Bowl presented dishes with understated brilliance, while the Lismore Essence Champagne Saucer added a sense of occasion to sparkling pours. Within the Tasting Room, cocktails rituals were styled with statement pieces such as the Lismore Essence Wine Decanter and the Lismore Pitcher and Shot Set, pieces that transformed every serve into a moment of theatre and precision. Each setting offered a different expression of Waterford: from grand and celebratory to intimate and interactive, proving the versatility of crystal in elevated modern entertaining.
Epicurean Passport is defined by collaboration, with a passion for bringing together world-class talent across food, wine and hospitality. For Waterford, whose heritage is rooted in centuries of crystal craftsmanship and Irish hospitality, the partnership is a natural fit.Every cut of Waterford crystal is designed not only to catch the light, but to enhance the experience, elevating the way wine breathes, cocktails taste and tables are set. Across the weekend, this philosophy came to life as chefs and bartenders created moments that felt both contemporary and timeless.
The menus of Epicurean Passport offer more than inspiration: they invite recreation.
Whether hosting a multi-course dinner, styling a celebratory brunch or crafting cocktails for friends, the pieces featured throughout the weekend provide a foundation for elevated entertaining at home.
Because true luxury lies in the art of presentation: that is, not only in what we serve but how we serve it.
