AN UNFORGETTABLE GOLDEN WINE ENCOUNTER AT KANIFUSHI
Atmosphere Kanifushi will host a refined celebration of Maldivian spirit and Italian craftsmanship from 4 to 6 December, as Atmosphere Core presents a three-day collaboration with Bottega SpA, one of Italy’s leading lifestyle wineries.
Sandro Bottega, President and CEO of Bottega SpA, noted that the Maldives is “an iconic destination, a paradise for leisure and diving,” adding that the collaboration represents “a refined hospitality that harmonizes well with the Italian lifestyle.”
The event will open at Just Veg, the Maldives’ first vegetarian restaurant, with special lunch and dinner menus by Italian Chef Fabrizio Marino, paired with selected Bottega vintages. On the second day, Pier Six will host seafood-inspired pairings, followed by an evening featuring golden cocktails, teppanyaki, and Venetian-themed entertainment against the backdrop of the lagoon.
The celebration will conclude with the Bottega Gala Gold Dinner on the beach, where guests will gather to toast with GOLD Prosecco DOC under the stars, accompanied by live music and DJ performances. Bottega’s Head Sommelier, Elena Schipani, will guide guests through each pairing, sharing insights into the heritage of each wine. All experiences are included in the Kanifushi Plan™, available by pre-booking and subject to availability.
According to Raman Gomathi, Director of Food and Beverage at Atmosphere Kanifushi, “This Golden Wine Encounter reflects our belief in experiences that blend artistry with authenticity. The team has worked with great care to create this first-of-its-kind celebration, a testament to our Joy of Giving philosophy.”
The event also underscores Atmosphere Core’s growing relationship with Italy. In 2026, the group is set to open its first European property—BORGO MONCHIERO Heritage by Atmosphere—in Piedmont, a region celebrated for its vineyards and culinary excellence. The collaboration with Bottega SpA and Chef Fabrizio Marino offers an early glimpse into this upcoming venture, uniting Maldivian warmth with Italian artistry.
A fourth-generation family estate, Bottega SpA stands for quality, authenticity, and timeless design—values shared by Atmosphere Core. Together, they will offer guests an elegant celebration where fine wine meets the joy of island living.
