A Passion for Water and Wine

With over 30 years of hospitality experience, from boutique hotels to Michelin Star-awarded restaurants, I've had the opportunity to be emerged in a world of creating experiences with meaningful purpose. The offerings I've currated are an embodiment of my passion of all things water, wine, and cuisine. I look forward to hosting you on my new venture aboard Cru Classé, where we'll take to picturesque waters for an exploration of the senses.            Troy Knapp
