The package also includes a tasting menu inspired by the hotel’s partnerships with local farms, creameries, and watermen at the award-winning Blue Duck Tavern. This private Chef’s Table experience at the hotel’s Michelin-distinguished restaurant is designed to highlight the seasonality and bounty of this region with a four-course preset dinner created by the masterful Chef de Cuisine Andrew Cleverdon and his culinary team. Over the years, The Washington Post, Washingtonian, Esquire, Forbes, Travel & Leisure, and DC Modern Luxury are a few of the prestigious publications that have recognized Blue Duck Tavern for its excellence and the restaurant remains a destination for locals and travelers alike. Chef Cleverdon joined Blue Duck Tavern in the fall of 2022. He brings twenty years of experience to his position, having worked for esteemed restaurants in New York and Washington, D.C. He is collaborating closely with his team on creative menu development that is building on the legacy of Blue Duck Tavern, embracing local farms and producers in the Mid-Atlantic. A native Washingtonian, Cleverdon graduated in 2001 from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. During his career, Cleverdon mastered his craft under several esteemed chefs including Tom Colicchio in New York City, before relocating to the nation’s capital to work under acclaimed chef-owners, Jeffery Boubin, and Fabio Trabocchi. He has also cooked at Michael Mina’s BOURBON STEAK at the Four Seasons Hotel, Washington, D.C., and at award-winning mixologist Derek Brown’s popular Eat The Rich, The Passenger, and Columbia Room. Cleverdon also served as executive chef for Robert Wiedmaier’s Siren. Under his leadership, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2019.

“We are delighted to be working again with Troy Knapp, who launched his new company, Cru Classé in 2022 to provide luxurious private yacht experiences from the Wharf,” states Park Hyatt Washington General Manager Terry Dunbar. “Troy is a former food and beverage director for our hotel and Blue Duck Tavern and the restaurant first captured Michelin recognition when he helmed our kitchen. Besides being an exceptional chef, he is an avid and knowledgeable captain, so our guests are in wonderful hands to enjoy time on the water here in Washington. Equally as adventurous on terra firma, Sip & Sail guests are treated to a multi-course tasting menu experience at our Chef’s Table in Blue Duck Tavern. Chef Cleverdon is a welcome addition to our long history of exceptional culinary talent here at the Park Hyatt. This package is ideal for a couple who wants something unique and memorial for a special occasion in Washington.”
