The warmly interactive event that the five-star hotel organised in partnership with its wine supplier, Akagera Business Group, attracted a number of business people, members of diplomatic corps, media practitioners and other categories of the Kigali community.
Hosted in the Marriott’s Cucina Restaurant, participants tasted over 10 neatly selected wine types as Marriott added new types like LaCheteau Vouvray from France and Chile’s Casa de Campo on its menu of over 50 wine types.
Wines were paired with a selection of delectable vegetables, cheese, snacks and more.
Kigali Marriott’s Food and Beverage Director, Simon Hodson said the toast is the first of a series of the monthly events that will see a good number of people tasting and experiencing a variety of wines.
“This has been a success. We have gotten positive feedback from all who have attended. It indicates that the culture of wine and fine foods is really developed in Rwanda. There is an appetite for it and Kigali Marriott is very delighted to be at the forefront of that. This is the first of a series of events we shall be hosting monthly and this will be open to the public to come and learn about different varieties of wines and enjoy them. We shall also be offering our fantastic foods to complement that,” he said.
Well over a couple of months now, Kigali Marriott has been introducing different cuisines including Italian, Turkish, Belgian and now Brazilian cuisine come Wednesday (February 28).
Having opened its doors in Kigali City centre in mid-2016, the five-star Kigali Marriott Hotel is part of Marriott International which is present in more than 110 countries with more than 6,000 properties globally.
