Mumbai, July 17th, 2023:

Atmosphere Core, a rapidly expanding hospitality company, presents an edifying wine voyage across its portfolio with its third wine partner, South Africa's Glenelly Estate.

OBLU SELECT Lobigili, OBLU SELECT Sangeli, and VARU By Atmosphere.

Guests can anticipate sunset wine soirees on pristine white beaches, comprehensive masterclass banquets, a wine-infused luncheon, and wine pairing lessons. All in the company of Mr. Nicolas Bureau, a winemaker and proprietor of Glenelly Estate who has been in the business for multiple generations.

Mr. Bureau, along with his wife and children, will reside in three of the company's resorts as part of the In-House Wine Culture initiative. The Bureau family will exhibit their signature wines and interact with visitors through carefully curated experiences.

Mr. Bureau will also conduct seminars for the Food and Beverage (F&B) teams, in addition to focusing on the passenger experience. These interactions will pave the way for six frontline F&B professionals to visit the winemaker's Stellenbosch estate during the harvest in February 2024 for wine training and cultural immersion.

Developing an Internal Wine CultureAtmosphere Core has fostered a distinctive wine culture across its three brands and eight resorts, motivated by Authenticity and Generosity.

The company's three family-owned wine partners share these values: Champagne Guy Charbaut, Bodegas Viátigo, and Glenelly Estate.

In 2022, proprietors and winemakers from Champagne Guy Charbaut and Bodegas Viátigo adorned THE OZEN COLLECTION resorts by hosting enthralling wine soirees, demonstrations, and training seminars.

In March 2023, a group of frontline F&B professionals from Atmosphere Core were invited on a week-long educational tour of the Bodegas Viátigo winery in the Canary Islands. Later, in June 2023, a different group of frontline F&B professionals from Atmosphere Core were invited on a week-long educational excursion, this time to the Champagne Guy Charbaut estate in France.

On the picturesque southern slopes of Simonsberg in Stellenbosch, South Africa, is the world-class wine estate. Glenelly Estate wines are served exclusively at Maldives Atmosphere Core resorts.
