Province, Place, Pleasure

At Hand Picked Hotels, wine has always been an important part of the dining experience, but our latest wine list takes that philosophy a step further. Created to offer greater choice, discovery and quality, the new collection brings together wines from celebrated regions across the world, alongside lesser-known bottles chosen for their character, provenance and individuality.

It is a list designed not simply to impress, but to be enjoyed. From elegant Champagne and beautifully structured Bordeaux to expressive Italian reds, crisp English wines and discoveries from the New World, guests are encouraged to explore, whether they are knowledgeable about wine or simply know what they enjoy.

Behind every bottle is a story. Wine begins with place: the soil, climate, landscape and people who shape it. Some vineyards have been tended by generations of the same family, while others represent a new generation bringing fresh thinking to historic regions. That combination of tradition, craftsmanship and individuality makes wine such a natural fit for Hand Picked Hotels.

The relationship between kitchen and cellar sits at the heart of the new Hand Picked Hotels wine list, with wines selected to complement our menus while also encouraging guests to discover something new.

Over the coming months, Hand Picked Hotels will also introduce wine dinners and special experiences, bringing together exceptional bottles, carefully created menus and the stories behind the wines.

Throughout the following pages, we celebrate that wider world of wine and some of the estates, producers and specialists who help bring it to our tables. There will be familiar names, intriguing discoveries and wines chosen for their rarity, heritage or simply because they are wonderful to drink.

Because ultimately, the greatest pleasure of wine is finding the right bottle, in the right setting, with the right people.
