Hear Ye! Hear Ye! If you are planning a trip to the Caribbean and wine drinking is a priority of yours, make sure the famed Malliouhana Resort on Anguilla is on your must-visit list. Malliouhana has partnered with the award-winning Sommelier Shelley Lindgren to launch their new wine program! Lindgren is known for pioneering new concepts in food and wine, being the Co-Owner and Wine Director of A16 Restaurants, Co-Founder of Tansy Wines, and Co-Author of Italian Wine: The History, Regions, and Grapes of an Iconic Wine Country.
“My inspiration behind curating Malliouhana’s new wine program was the rich wine history that we wanted to bring back to life,” said Lindgren. “The history of Malliouhana is one of the foundations of hospitality on the island, and there is a beautiful, natural way of wanting to relax and enjoy the atmosphere with the surroundings, while enjoying a glass of wine.”
Malliouhana, Anguilla’s stylish resort icon, and the first five-star hotel in Anguilla, is celebrating its seasonal reopening with an exciting collaboration with James Beard Award-winning Sommelier, Shelley Lindgren. As the resort reopens for the 2023-2024 year, Malliouhana is thrilled to welcome back guests with a new wine program led by Lindgren. This program will include a special collaboration with Malliouhana’s first on-property sommelier, Albert Lake. Guests can look forward to elevated wine experiences and exclusive wine selections that can only be found on the island at Malliouhana’s signature dining outlets. The program is designed for travelers who appreciate enriching experiences that enhance the local flavors of Anguilla. This partnership precedes many more, commemorating Malliouhana’s upcoming 40th anniversary, with more exciting news to come.

Malliouhana, one of the Caribbean’s eminent resorts, draws viticulture travelers globally. Its previous owner, Leon Roydon, an enthusiastic wine collector, established the resort and Anguilla as a sought-after culinary and wine hotspot for discriminating explorers. Complementing this, Lindgren’s stature as an industry vanguard – manifested as a Guild of Sommeliers board member and having been honored by the Italian President for her significant contribution to Italy’s wine industry – is faultlessly matched for revitalizing Malliouhana’s wine program and boosting the guest experience. Furthermore, Albert Lake’s vital role in forming Malliouhana’s renowned wine history is worthy of recognition, and the resort is delighted to welcome him back to commemorate the wine program’s transpired and future journey during this significant anniversary.
“Malliouhana has always been celebrated for its exclusive culinary services that not just honor the native culture and food but attract innovative collaborators. We take great pride in affiliating with two of the industry’s most esteemed sommeliers. This partnership unveils Malliouhana’s commitment to curating a remarkable all-round experience for our patrons,” says George Vlachopoulos, Malliouhana’s Managing Director.

As an enhancement to the hotel-wide wine scheme, every distinguished Malliouhana eatery will feature exclusive choices imported from Europe and California. This approach honors the beach-inspired aura inherent to the resort’s culinary philosophy. Bar Soleil, the resort’s relaxed, open-air venue, will showcase a menu inspired by Mediterranean islands, celebrating wines from Corsica, Sardegna, Sicily, and Greece. This will be enhanced by a collection of refreshing specialty drinks, from icy punches to classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and Negroni served with large ice. Celeste, Malliouhana’s flagship fine-dining establishment, offers wine pairings expertly selected to complement Executive Chef Robert Hopkin’s regularly changing menus. This includes a unique pairing with Lindgren’s Tansy wine collection. Leon’s, the resort’s relaxed beachside eatery situated right on Mead’s Bay, will promote a dedicated “All Day Rosé” menu. In addition, Lindgren is set to bring vintage and grand selection wines to the resort, a perfect accompaniment for guests commemorating landmark birthdays, anniversaries, and other special events.
