Are you a Wine lover?
If you are, we have a quality wine shop in Medan, located near the lobby of Grand Angkasa Hotel, it is the first mini wine shop in Medan focusing on selling wine without dining. Other places to enjoy wine would be The Traders & Shoot cafe & restaurant or Bel Mondo Cafe.
This wine shop focused more on its wine and networking where wine lovers can lounge into the cozy atmosphere of the wine shop.
Wine has become more and more popular in Medan as there are many overseas educated young generations returning to Medan. This wine shop is one example of such as the owners are all overseas students who returned to Medan and missed the lifestyle of the west.
Expect to see more wine shop, wine bar and wine lounge to open soon in Medan as rumors speculate that there will be more opening in the soon to open Cambridge Mall / Swiss Bel Hotel, Marriott Hotel and Aston Hotel. Aryaduta Also serves Wine in their restaurant - “The Kitchen”
You can see the pictures of The Wine Shop at Grand Angkasa Hotel below, also watch these Free Wine Class videos to learn more about the basics of Wine - How to choose and use Wine, Wine Glass and more. There is even one on “How to Stop being a Wine Snob ”
