Mark your calendar for November 15th, when Nova Maldives invites you to an exceptional evening of Champagne tasting amidst the tranquil beauty of a Maldivian island. In collaboration with the esteemed Maison Taittinger, this exclusive dinner will allow guests to savor the distinctive flavors of Taittinger Champagne, one of the few remaining large, family-owned Champagne houses.
Maison Taittinger , which traces its origins back to the First World War when Pierre Taittinger discovered the region, boasts an impressive 228 hectares of vineyards nestled among the Côte des Blancs, the Vallée de la Marne, and the Montagne de Reims. Known for its refined and prestigious Champagnes, Taittinger offers a perfect complement to the serene elegance of Nova, promising an evening of unmatched luxury and sophistication. The event, set against the stunning backdrop of the South Ari Atoll, begins with a welcome glass of Taittinger Brut Réserve and a selection of gourmet canapés.
Guests will then be guided to a beautifully appointed dining area on the pristine white sands, where a sumptuous five-course dinner awaits. Each course, crafted with local ingredients, will be expertly paired with Taittinger’s finest Champagnes, allowing guests to enjoy the exquisite harmony of flavors while watching the sun set over the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives. The menu will feature a selection of culinary delights, including Gruyère and Parmesan soufflé, charcuterie, shellfish risotto, locally and sustainably sourced fish, and decadent desserts like chocolate mousse cake or red fruit pavlova.
Each dish will be perfectly complemented by handpicked Taittinger Champagnes, including Brut Millésimé, Brut Prestige Rosé, Prélude Grands Crus, Comtes De Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut, and Nocturne Sec Rosé. Nova Maldives, a sanctuary of peace, marine life, and unforgettable experiences, offers rejuvenating overwater spa treatments, year-round whale shark and manta ray snorkeling, wellness activities, and rich cultural explorations on its secluded, community-focused island resort. “I am incredibly proud to announce our collaboration with the prestigious Maison Taittinger for this exclusive gourmet tasting dinner.
The renowned champagne house’s commitment to excellence and sustainability aligns perfectly with Nova’s own values. We look forward to paring Nova’s culinary excellence with Taittinger’s champagne expertise, creating an unforgettable experience for our guests. Hosting this unique event in our serene island hideaway is a true honour, and we are excited to welcome our guests to indulge in elegance and sophistication amidst the natural beauty of the Maldives,” says Abdulla Aboobakuru, General Manger Nova Maldives.
