JW Marriott Hotel Seoul will host the 2021 Autumn Wine Fair, a seasonal celebration showcasing spirits from outstanding wineries in 11 countries, at The Margaux Grill's seventh-floor garden.
Running for three days from Nov. 10, the upcoming wine fair will feature a wide selection ranging from daily wines to fine small-batch cult labels, with savings of up to 50 percent on regular prices.
Complimentary corkage for wines purchased at the fair will be offered at JW Marriott Hotel Seoul's Flavors, Tamayura and The Margaux Grill restaurants until Feb. 28.
Star wines and champagnes handpicked by the hotel's own sommelier include champagnes Henri Giraud Argonne Brut, crafted by the champagne house renowned for its barrels made of oak from the Forest of Argonne; Joseph Perrier Cuvee Royale Blanc des Blancs, made from the finest cuvee sourced from prime vineyards by the official champagne supplier of Britain's royal family; and red and white wines from makers such as famed U.S. cult label Harlan Estate.
The fair will also feature red and white wines, champagnes and sparkling wines sold by nine leading Korean importers, including Shinsegae L&B, Nara Cellar, CSR and Crystal Wines, selected based on brand value and recognition and quality.
Due to governmental regulations for the prevention of COVID-19, wine tasting will not be available at this autumn's fair.
The fair will run daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with 220 wines available for advance reservation for five days from Oct. 30.
In addition, a variety of other benefits include sommelier-led wine cellar tours.
