Aug. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- The Cottages on Charleston Harbor launches a new fall getaway package for the culinary enthusiast. Known for its extraordinary restaurants, nationally acclaimed culinary events and award-winning chefs, Charleston is the ideal vacation spot for those who enjoy exceptional food and wine.  The Cottages on Charleston Harbor is the perfect place to explore Charleston’s culinary scene while enjoying the luxury of a private enclave where unparalleled service and warm Southern hospitality set the stage for unwinding.

        The Fall in Love with Charleston Package at The Cottages on Charleston Harbor includes upscale accommodations in a two-bedroom waterfront cottage for up to six guests (minimum of four guests for this package); a private, customized dinner prepared by Executive Chef Christian Watson; gourmet culinary treats upon arrival; special turndown service; historic carriage tour of Downtown Charleston; and tickets to the Edmondston-Alston House (one of Charleston’s most popular house museums).

         “We are extremely excited about The Fall In Love with Charleston Package,” says Christa Polinsky, general manager of The Cottages on Charleston Harbor.  “It offers guests the opportunity to enjoy exceptional cuisine prepared in the comfort of their own private cottage and close proximity to some of Charleston’s best restaurants and historic attractions.”

         Guests will enjoy their customized dinner prepared by Chef Christian Watson, the former executive chef of the award-winning Carter’s Kitchen, in the privacy of their own cottage.  Chef Christian will use local ingredients and incorporate his Lowcountry flair into the personalized meal, which may include wine pairings.  Visitors may enjoy the dinner by a cozy fire, on their private porch overlooking Charleston Harbor or in the kitchen interacting with the chef.

        Package participants will also enjoy other delicious delicacies at The Cottages, including freshly made biscuits, local pralines, Pimento Cheese, crudités, and warm cookies and milk at bedtime.

         Charleston’s growing culinary scene features some of the nation’s most highly acclaimed new restaurants and a host of food and wine events, such as the Charleston Food + Wine Festival, Southern Living Taste of Charleston, and the upcoming Restaurant Week, coordinated by the Greater Charleston Restaurant Association.   This year’s fall installment of Restaurant Week is set for September 3-14.
