In the shimmering embrace of the Indian Ocean, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island elevates luxury oenology to new heights with an unmissable event: an exclusive Winemaker Dinner featuring Chiara Soldati, CEO of Italy’s legendary wine estate La Scolca. On August 10, 2025, this intimate affair transforms the resort’s iconic underground Wine Cellar—the Maldives’ first and only—into a stage where centuries-old Piedmontese winemaking heritage meets Maldivian paradise

  • Mulled wine poached pears

• Wine Pairings: Soldati personally selects rare vintages from La Scolca’s acclaimed portfolio, including their signature Gavi dei Gavi, to elevate each course.
