This week (and last) in the world of drinks, we saw a celebration of excellence across Rome, London, Beverly Hills and Tokyo.
In Rome, Ferrari Trento played a central role in the State Dinner hosted by President Sergio Mattarella in honour of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
The evening opened with Ferrari Riserva Lunelli 2016, celebrating both the royal visit and the couple’s 20th wedding anniversary. The Lunelli family, in attendance, presented The King with a bottle of Giulio Ferrari Collezione 2004, specially numbered 2023 to commemorate his coronation. The gesture paid tribute to His Majesty’s ongoing support for sustainable agriculture and appreciation for Italy’s culinary and winemaking heritage.
In London, Cygnet 77 made its global debut at the Harrods Baccarat Bar on World Earth Day.
Guests were invited to a conversation on sustainable luxury, featuring Harrods MD Michael Ward and Cygnet Co-Founder Professor Andrew Levitas. The discussion was followed by an exclusive tasting of Cygnet 77’s newly launched luxury gin.
In Beverly Hills, DAOU Vineyards returned as the Official Wine Partner of the Daily Front Row’s 9th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards, hosted at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel.
The event honoured fashion and beauty icons, including Hailey Bieber and Tyra Banks. Guests were welcomed with tray-passed DAOU Rosé, crafted in the Provençal style, while the brand’s flagship Soul of a Lion Cabernet Sauvignon was served at the exclusive DAOU Wine Bar.
In Tokyo, Goki Isao, chef sommelier at the Bvlgari Hotel, was announced as the winner of the Tokyo Italian Wine Sommelier Award, presented by db Asia.
A distinguished figure in the beverage world, Isao holds multiple international certifications, including Champagne Chevalier, Sake Diploma, and Cheese Professional License. Her wide-ranging expertise and passion for education make her a standout among a new generation of sommeliers bringing global depth to fine wine and hospitality.
