Atmosphere Core, a fast-growing hospitality company, presents an enriching wine journey across its portfolio with its third wine partner, Glenelly Estate from Stellenbosch, South Africa. The Glenelly Estate Winemaker experience will unfold on September 25th and 26th at OBLU SELECT Lobigili, September 28th and 29th at OBLU SELECT Sangeli, and October 1st and 2nd at VARU By Atmosphere.
Guests can look forward to sunset wine soirees on pristine white beaches, immersive masterclass dinners, a delectable wine-infused brunch, and gain insights into the art of wine pairing. All in the company of Mr. Nicolas Bureau, a multi-generational winemaker and owner of Glenelly Estate.
As part of the In-House Wine Culture initiative, Mr. Bureau, accompanied by his wife and children, will be residing at three of the company’s resorts. The Bureau family will showcase their signature wines and engage with guests through curated experiences.
In addition to guest experiences, Mr. Bureau will conduct training workshops for the Food and Beverage (F&B) teams. These interactions will pave the way for six frontline F&B professionals to visit the winemaker’s Stellenbosch estate for wine training and cultural immersion during the harvest in February 2024.
Atmosphere Core has been cultivating a unique wine culture across its three brands and eight resorts, driven by Authenticity and Joy of Giving. These values are shared by the company’s three family-owned wine partners – Champagne Guy Charbaut, Bodegas Viñátigo, and Glenelly Estate.
Owners and winemakers from Champagne Guy Charbaut and Bodegas Viñátigo graced THE OZEN COLLECTION resorts in 2022, hosting captivating wine soirees, masterclasses and training workshops. In March 2023, a group of frontline F&B professionals from Atmosphere Core were invited to the Bodegas Viñátigo winery in the Canary Islands for a week-long educational tour. Later, in June 2023, a different group of frontline F&B professionals from Atmosphere Core were invited for another week-long educational tour, this time to the Champagne Guy Charbaut house in France.
Glenelly Estate, established in 2003 by the renowned Bordeaux winemaker Madame May de Lencquesaing, embodies a clear vision of producing wines characterized by elegance and exceptional aging potential. The world-class wine estate is situated on the picturesque southern slopes of Simonsberg in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Glenelly Estate wines are pouring exclusively at Atmosphere Core resorts in the Maldives.
