Champagne Ritual

The Champagne Sabering takes place at the Altamira Bar, located at the entrance to the hotel, every Friday at sunset.

You as our guest will be treated to an exceptional demonstration of skill as our head butler revives the traditional art of sabering, truly the world’s most memorable way to free a magnum of its cork.

A little history:

Dating back to Napoleon, the art of using a champagne saber is one of the most theatrical and exclusive ways to serve sparkling wine.

Today, The St. Regis General Manager, Mr Carl Emberson takes you on a bespoke journey of sabering, resulting in popping exalted champagnes as only they deserve - a dramatic, yet contained explosion that is truly the most pleasurable way to begin the appreciation of a fine wine.

This St. Regis Aficionado experience is part of the bespoke Ritual at the St. Regis Punta de Mita to enjoy the best of sparkling wines, welcoming the beginning of a new evening at the resort on Friday evenings. A place where timeless elegance and informal grace are dedicated to those who appreciate the best in life, while the sun goes down and glasses are tipped.

Bloody Mary Ritual

In 1934, Fernand Petiot became a bartender at the St. Regis Hotel, New York, bringing with him the “Bloody Mary,” a vodka and tomato juice drink he started making in Paris. It was in the St. Regis King Cole bar that Petiot perfected his original formula, adding salt, pepper, lemon, Tabasco and Worcestershire Sauce to create the drink that is beloved today.

Following Fernand Petiot’s tradition, every St. Regis in the world has created their signature Bloody Mary by adding a special hint.

You will be able to enjoy your own recipe as a teaser for breakfast in all our restaurants, as well as a Bloody Mary menu that includes the recipes from the St. Regis hotels around the world.
 
The Afternoon Tea

For the Astors, Mrs. Caroline Astor in particular, afternoon tea was a hallowed tradition and the opportunity to host intimate gatherings with her closest associates – a dignified prelude to her more noteworthy social events. Today, afternoon tea remains a treasured fixture of the St. Regis experience.

Enjoy the tea ritual at the Altamira bar on Monday and Wednesday at 3:00 pm or enjoy our tea selection at any of our restaurants.
 
Catch of the day Ritual

Every Friday at 11:30 am at the Sea Breeze beach, we invite you to meet our Chef to choose your catch of the day, while fishermen deliver the freshest fish at Sea Breeze Beach Club, at the same time as the bell rings.
 
Join us at the St Regis Resort Hotel Punta Mita in Riviera Nayarit to celebrate these memorable rituals.
