Exclusive Argentinian Wine Delights Brought to Grand Park Kodhipparu
Sunday 12th of June 2022
Grand Park Kodhipparu was designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates, a world-renowned hospitality firm, and is an oasis of luxury and tranquility, with thoughtfully designed spaces throughout the island and modern interiors inspired by Maldivian elements. An overwater spa with seven treatment rooms, a fully equipped marine sports centre, a recreation beach club, Little Explorers kids' club, three outstanding destination-dining offerings, and an infinity pool are among the resort's many amenities.
This month's experience is presented in partnership with Catena Zapata Winery – Argentina as part of Grand Park Kodhipparu's monthly culinary immersion series. Argentina's Bodega Catena Zapata, founded in 1902, is known for its pioneering role in resurrecting Malbec and discovering extreme high-altitude terroirs in Mendoza's Andean foothills. The Adrianna Vineyard, which is almost 5,000 feet above sea level, has been dubbed the Grand Cru of South America. Catena's story is the story of Argentine wine. As a result, Catena's story becomes the story of Argentine wine.
The best vineyard and wine memories come in two vintages. The wilderness and rolling hills, the allure of cloud-play over vineyards and scented vivid sprigs of spring, golden amber of autumn, and the soft chill of winter frost– each has its own peaceful beauty. The other conjures up images of aged finesse, grape aromas, mood lighting in dark cellars, corks popped and sabered, raucous flute lifting, and merry spillages on laden tables.
“We want our guests to every day be filled with joie de vivre. If that means bringing the tasting notes from Argentina to the Maldives so, be it. This June we partner with Bodega Catena Zapata and Grape Expectations to present to our guests this exquisite gourmet experience. Catena’s Asia Pacific ambassador Tamara Amaya will breakdown the enology of pairing to individual dishes of a delightful six course menu our Executive Chef has curated with the tastemakers of Catena,” Sharing his enthusiasm over the course is the General Manager of Grand Park Kodhipparu, Raffaele Solferino.
The resort’s sommeliers, mixologists, and cigar connoisseurs participate in the internationally recognized Wine & Spirit Education program with Sommelier & Wine Educators at Grape Expectations every year. Grand Park Kodhipparu also offers a series of thoughtfully designed private dining experiences in addition to its curated gourmet journeys. Travelers from all over the world have been drawn to private floating sunrise breakfast or sunset rendezvous as a unique way to start or end a day in paradise.
Grand Park Kodhipparu guarantees a sensational culinary affair on this secluded island, from dining under the stars to dining at the award-winning Firedoor set eloquently over-water. Find out everything you can expect and more at this blissful getaway, whether you're looking for a sophisticated gastronomic experience or simple farm-to-fork fare.
