Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts, een internationaal horecamerk binnen Atmosphere Core, presenteert een reeks verrijkende wijnmakerervaringen met Glenelly Estate op zijn twee privé-eilanden, Sfeer Kanifushi en VARU van Sfeer.

The events will take place at Atmosphere Kanifushi from 25th to 27th August and at VARU van Sfeer from 29th to 31st August 2024. In-house guests will be invited to sophisticated wine pairing dinners and lively beachside soirees, included within the generous Holiday Plans, Kanifushi Plan and VARU Plan. Lia Poveda, Lady May’s closest confidant and in charge of Glenelly Estates’ presence across the globe will be visiting both islands to personally host these events.

Nicolas Laguette, the Director of Wines at Atmosphere Core, says, “Against all odds, we’re slowly putting Maldives on the global wine map. With travellers from around the world visiting us not just for our heavenly beaches and coral lagoons, but also for our authentic terroir wines and experiences with multi-generational winemakers.

“2024 marks the return of Glenelly Estate with us in the Maldives, having already hosted at VARU by Atmosphere in September of 2023. This year we took the time to look at the core identities of our various wine partners to find similarities with the core identities of our three hospitality brands. Glenelly Estate is helmed by Lady May, today she is 99 years old and is the 6th generation of Bordeaux’s most prestigious lineage, but 25 years ago she became bored of Bordeaux and left to go all-in for Stellenbosch. This desire to disrupt the old while holding on to traditional savoir-faire are core identities shared by both Glenelly Estate and Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts.”

Lia Poveda zal niet alleen gasten betoveren, maar ook tijd doorbrengen met de bekroonde culinaire teams van Sfeer Kanifushi en VARU van Sfeer. Ze zal workshops en blinde proeverijen geven om collega's in staat te stellen alle gasten met vertrouwen te begeleiden, of het nu connaisseurs of nieuwsgierige wijnliefhebbers zijn.

Atmosphere Core has been cultivating a unique wine culture driven by Authenticity and Joy of Giving. While the programme was launched in 2021 with uber luxe brand THE OZEN COLLECTION, there was a conscious focus on expanding to other brands. In 2023, the lifestyle brands COLOURS OF OBLU and Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts forged partnerships with the vibrant wineries Glenelly Estate (Stellenbosch) and Bodegas Martín Códax (Rías Baixas).

Glenelly Estate, opgericht in 2003 door de beroemde Bordeaux-wijnmaker Madame May de Lencquesaing, beter bekend als Lady May, belichaamt een duidelijke visie op het produceren van jaargangen die worden gekenmerkt door elegantie en uitzonderlijk rijpingspotentieel. Het landgoed van wereldklasse ligt op de pittoreske zuidelijke hellingen van Simonsberg in Stellenbosch, Zuid-Afrika. Glenelly Estate-wijnen worden exclusief geschonken in de Atmosphere Core-resorts op de Malediven.
