The Doubletree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji on Sonaisali Island recently hosted an exclusive event known as the Henkell Sunset Cocktail, showcasing the new range of Henkell sparkling wines. This event, which drew in guests and stakeholders, was a celebration of the partnership between the German wine company and the Motibhai Group of Companies, aimed at introducing a variety of sparkling wine flavors to the Fijian market.
Philip Wells, the chief commercial officer of Henkell-Freixenet, highlighted the company’s rich heritage of 165 years and its status as the largest exporter of German sparkling wine, available in over 100 countries. He noted Henkell’s strong presence in Australia, where it consistently ranks as the number one imported sparkling wine due to its value and quality.
During the event, Nitesh Chand, business development manager for Motibhai Group, expressed excitement about this collaboration, which not only brings Henkell’s sparkling wines to Fiji but also involves extensive training sessions for local retailers. This effort aims to enhance the overall wine experience within the Fijian hospitality sector.
The introduction of Henkell sparkling wines aligns with a broader trend in Fiji’s hospitality industry, where premium beverage offerings are gaining momentum. Similar initiatives, like the collaboration between Motibhai Group and the introduction of Amrut Indian Whisky at local venues, indicate a commitment to enriching Fiji’s culinary landscape. As such, these developments enhance the island’s reputation as a vibrant culinary destination appealing to both locals and tourists.
Such partnerships not only pave the way for introducing high-quality wines to Fiji but also promote cultural exchange and appreciation for fine beverages, filling a need for diverse experiences in the local tourism sector. The future looks bright for Fiji’s hospitality industry, as it continues to evolve and welcome exceptional international brands, providing enriching experiences for everyone involved.
