Mount Lavinia Hotel’s Chilean Winemaker’s Night, held at the Maitland State Room, marks great significance in the food and drink circle of Sri Lanka, as this was the first time Latin New World wines were introduced to Sri Lanka in collaboration with the Favourite Group. Popular Chilean wines such as Valdivieso Single Vineyard Merlot, Valdivieso Reserva Chardonnay and last but not least Valdivieso Calballo Loco, known as the super star of Chilean wines were introduced and launched for the first time in Sri Lanka for enthusiastic and eagerly waiting palates. The chefs of Mount Lavinia Hotel (Justin Dingle, Indika Jayawardena and Asanka Karunaratne) paired the wines perfectly with their five star course dinner.
The event was perfected by the presence of famous Chilean winemaker Brett Jackson and the host of the night was Anura Dewapura, General Manager, Mount Lavinia Hotel.
