The Grand Wine Experience Is Back And Better Than Ever

After a long hiatus, the Grand Wine Experience is back! The 20th edition of the biggest, most anticipated wine event in Southeast Asia will be held on November 17, Friday at The Grand Ballroom of Marriott Manila. It’s definitely going to be a spectacular evening filled with award-winning wines, spirits, sake and beers, alongside a gloriously bountiful array of dishes curated by the talented chefs of Marriott. 

The theme this year is Bud Break, the first stage of the grapevine's annual cycle, when the dormant buds burst into life and produce new shoots. It is a critical time for the vineyard, as it determines the potential yield and quality of the grapes. It is also a beautiful sight, as the green leaves contrast with the brown branches and create a stunning landscape. It also signals the beginning of a new growth cycle and reignites hope for a new harvest. 

Bud Break is a fitting metaphor for this year's Grand Wine Experience, as the event has not been held since before the pandemic. The last Grand Wine Experience was in 2019. Because of its long absence, the 20th edition is considered more than just a wine and spirits event but a celebration of life, a toast to the future, and a tribute to the past. It is a symbol of resilience, of how we can overcome adversity and emerge stronger and better. Bud Break  captures the essence of renewal and optimism.

As the ultimate destination for wine and spirits lovers, connoisseurs, and enthusiasts, the Grand Wine Experience is the largest and most prestigious event of its kind in Southeast Asia. There will be over 1,000 award-winning wines, spirits, sakes, and beers from around the world, curated by experts and presented by renowned winemakers and distillers. The event will also be a gastronomic playground, with exquisite dishes prepared by top chefs to complement the libations. It is a night of indulgence, exploration, discovery, and enjoyment.

It's going to be one of the most memorable editions of this remarkable wine festival yet. Come ready to explore the fascinating world of wine, and discover bottles you've didn't know about. It's the perfect time to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and savor the finer things in life.
