W H AT 'S NE W | ON THE HORIZON Michelin-starred chef brings Italian fine dining to Winnipeg's Castle The Fort Garry Hotel, Spa and Conference Centre launched several new experiences to its roster in 2022- 23 with the addition of Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club, as well as the unveiling of a beautiful renovation of the Oval Room Brasserie (the former Palm Lounge). Fall 2023 saw the addition of Vida Cucina Italia, a partnership between Ida Alba, the owner of the Fort Garry Hotel, and Michelin-starred Italian chef, Rosanna Marziale. Marizale won a Michelin star in 2013 and is often referred to as "The Queen of Mozzarella," for her ability to deliciously employ this seemingly simple ingredient in almost anything. In Vida Cucina Italia's striking 50-seat upscale Italian eatery, you'll find Marziale's Michelin-starred dishes "La Pizza al Contrario" and "Palla di Mozzarella ripiena di Tagliolini", along with other delights. It's all about connections… flight connections Over the last year, WestJet expanded its flight service out of Winnipeg Richardson International Airport with new, non-stop flight routes to Atlanta (ATL) five times a week and Los Angeles (LAX) on three times a week. With direct routes to the world's busiest airport in Atlanta, as well as to the bright lights of Hollywood, it's easier than ever for American and international visitors to explore the heart of Canada! YWG has also added a brand-new carrier, Porter Airlines, to the flight board. Twice daily flights arrive from Toronto, enabling effortless access to Winnipeg via Toronto for travelers from Eastern cities. In May 2024, Porter is adding non-stop, daily flights to Ottawa.
