The Award of Excellence is presented to restaurants offering at least 75 carefully selected wines, providing guests with a balanced range of producers, styles, and price points.
Led by Head Sommelier Sasho Petereski, Kuredhivaru Resort and Spa’s wine programme showcases more than 300 labels across its three restaurants.
