Italian Coffee Culture Meets Elevated Coastal Hospitality
This summer, Lavazza, the world-renowned leader in premium coffee craftsmanship, is infusing the Hamptons with a taste of La Dolce Vita through a three-year partnership with the iconic Montauk Yacht Club. Known for its timeless East End charm and elevated coastal hospitality, the Montauk Yacht Club offers the perfect setting for Lavazza to showcase its Italian heritage and deepening presence in the luxury hospitality space.
Culinary Creations with Lavazza at Ocean Club
A highlight of the partnership is the culinary integration at the Yacht Club’s Ocean Club restaurant. Executive Chef Jarad McCarroll has crafted three exclusive menu items inspired by Lavazza’s signature blends:
-
A decadent tiramisu
-
A refreshing chilled mousse
-
A refined espresso martini
These seasonal indulgences not only showcase the depth of Lavazza’s portfolio but also complement the Yacht Club’s elevated yet approachable coastal cuisine. They’re also a natural fit for The Lounge at Ocean Club, the property’s new late-night summer concept.
“Working with Lavazza opened up new creative possibilities,” says McCarroll. “Coffee is a complex, aromatic ingredient that adds depth, richness, and surprise—qualities that align beautifully with our seasonal, coastal style.”
Summer Activations and Immersive Coffee Moments
Beyond the dining table, Lavazza is introducing a series of curated summer activations at Montauk Yacht Club:
-
Select Weekends: Guests can enjoy poolside indulgence with custom-branded Lavazza décor, complimentary tiramisu served in Lavazza cups, and seasonal coffee cocktails from a dedicated pop-up cart.
-
Café Market Takeover: A branded market experience offers curated coffee drinks, visual storytelling, and a full immersion into the Lavazza lifestyle.
-
In-Room Touches: Special amenities and sweepstakes access via QR codes bring the Lavazza experience directly to guests’ private spaces.
These activations are part of Lavazza’s Pleasure Makes Us Human campaign, launched last summer, celebrating moments of indulgence and connection through coffee.
From Montauk to the US Open
The Montauk Yacht Club partnership builds on Lavazza’s portfolio of high-profile hospitality collaborations, which include Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Princess Cruises, and one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year—the US Open.
As the official coffee partner of the US Open, Lavazza delivers authentic Italian coffee experiences to fans, players, and VIPs. Guests can expect espresso bars across the venue, specialty coffee drinks in VIP suites, and unique activations that celebrate both the sport and Italian coffee culture.
Lavazza’s tennis ambassador, Jannik Sinner, embodies the brand’s commitment to excellence and passion for the game. While the details for this year’s US Open activations are still under wraps, the event continues to be a global stage for the brand’s craftsmanship and style.
Accessible Luxury for Summer Hosts
Whether poolside at the Montauk Yacht Club or courtside at the US Open, Lavazza makes its premium coffee experiences accessible beyond the event. Shoppers can find Lavazza blends at major retailers and grocery stores, making it easy to bring a touch of Italian luxury to Hamptons summer gatherings at home.
