"What makes the tasting menu at Uberto unlike most others-besides the fact that it's located in Gay, Ga., a country town known for its semiannual Cotton Pickin' Festival-is that there is no check accompanying the miso-andchanterelle bonbon, amber canelé, and freeze-dried lemon-verbena ice cream that tastes, in the best possible way, like Trix. Provided you're staying on-site, that is, in one of the four impeccable cabins of Quercus, a 3,800-acre cattle ranch and microresort where the $2,700 nightly rate includes dinner and so much more."
"The all-inclusive vacation is easy to mock as tacky-as in the TikTok meme satirizing British tour company Jet2holidays. The humor lies in the gulf between the illusion of luxury and abundance advertised, and the sometimes rather dismal actual experience. But in recent years, the relatively tiny ultrahigh-end segment of the all-inclusive sector has rocketed from tourism's bottom-dweller to luxe travel industry darling."
The tasting menu at Uberto concludes with mignardises—macarons, truffles and other petite sweets. Uberto sits in Gay, Ga., and the dessert course is complimentary for guests staying on-site in Quercus's four cabins. Quercus is a 3,800-acre cattle ranch and microresort with a $2,700 nightly rate that includes dinner and additional amenities. The all-inclusive package features a biodynamic farm, private woodfired sauna, horse-training lessons, kayaking and fishing on the Flint River. The ultrahigh-end all-inclusive segment has shifted from tourism's low end to a luxury travel trend. Owner Chiara Visconti di Modrone aims to create a home-like, elegant and welcoming guest experience.
