Milaidhoo Maldives will host an exclusive evening of fine wine and dining on 4 December, welcoming renowned French winemaker Pascal Jolivet to the island for a five-course wine-pairing dinner. The evening will offer guests the opportunity to meet the winemaker, explore his collection and gain insight into his approach to winemaking.
Renowned for his wines from France’s Loire Valley, Pascal Jolivet will guide guests through a selection from his collection during the evening. Each wine will be paired with a specially crafted course, bringing together the flavours of the cuisine and the character of each wine for a thoughtfully curated dining experience.
The selection will include Sancerre Signature 2023, Pouilly-Fumé Indigène 2023, Attitude Pinot Noir 2024 and Sancerre Rosé 2024, giving guests the chance to discover different styles from the winemaker’s collection. Founded in 1987, Pascal Jolivet’s wine house has become well regarded for its approach to expressing the natural character of the Loire Valley’s vineyards. His wines are particularly recognised for their freshness, precision and elegance.
At Milaidhoo, food and wine are an important part of island life. With a strong focus on quality ingredients, varied culinary experiences and a carefully selected wine collection, the island attracts guests who appreciate good food and fine wines.
Nikhil Bakle, Resident Wine Sommelier at Milaidhoo Maldives, says: “What makes an evening like this special is the chance to go beyond the wine in the glass. Having Pascal with us means guests can hear directly from the winemaker, learn about his approach and discover what goes into each bottle. It is also a lovely opportunity to explore how these wines complement the food.”
Set in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, the evening will bring together good food, exceptional wines and the chance to meet the man behind the label, making it a special occasion for wine lovers visiting Milaidhoo.
