LDC Hotels & Resorts group, which has purchased 5 hotels in Italy since 2013, is devoted to enhance cultural exchange and mutuality between Taiwan and Italy. Accordingly, Palais de Chine Hotel has been absorbed in development of Italian cuisine culture since 2014, and has introduced foods which are representative of Italian diet such as the extra-virgin olive oil, the white truffle, Michelin cuisine, centenary pasta all'uovo, Pamiggiano Reggiano of Vacche Rosse, and Extra Vecchio Traditional Balsamic Vinegar in succession. Due to such efforts, Palais de Chine Hotel has become a unique 5 star hotel in Taiwan, successfully equated with Italian cuisine! As the representative of the group, Palais de Chine Hotel leads the trend once again in June 2015 to introduce the wine feast, which is the most important annual event in Italy. That is to say, Palaisde Chine Hotels is going to launch “LDC Cellar” wine tasting tours in six consecutive sessions synchronously with Italy just once. LDC Hotels & Resorts group took a year to visit hundreds of wineries that produce Barolo in Italy, and brought more than 100 styles of wine recommended by 48 wine judges participated in the Italy feast this year (including Xiaowen Huang, the founder of CLUBalogue well known in Taiwan, several Michelin chefs with a total of 8 stars, sommelier, professional wine critic, gourmet, and Alessandro Masnaghetti, the only “wine cartographer” in the world) back in order to provide Taiwanese guests with “blind tasting (i.e. covering the labels when tasting)”. Furthermore, we save our guests traveling expenses of nearly NT$200,000 and the time that would be spent on a long journey. Please seize this rare and exclusive chance to drink all-Italian Barolo. It's now or never! The first session of “LDC Cellar” wine tasting tour will be held at Palais de Chine Hotel on Friday, 19 June. There will be six consecutive sessions in total. There are limited quotas for 24 guests in each session at a price of only NT$4,800+10% per guest. You can taste D.O.C.G Barolo originating from 11 local wineries in Italy as much as you like, and you will be served “Piemonte Cuisine” arranged elaborately by our chefs in the meantime. It can present the Italian grand occasion of wine faithfully, and enable our compatriots to start a discovery journey of Italian vintages.
