This weekend, just in time for Valentine’s Day, three 4-letter words ‘amor’, ‘love’ and ‘golf’ will be forever linked, as the Wine Vault, located at the Marriott, partners with the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) to host its first grand event, featuring its Ventisquero Wines.

The featured event has been a long time in the making, and the owners felt that this was the right time to showcase their fine selections and top brands.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, there is no better gift that a loved one can receive than a glass or bottle of top-quality wine, and the Wine Vault has a wide selection and price range for everyone.
“This tournament will be a special occasion for the partnership, since the LGC is seen as a top-rated location and the number of events that will be held there in 2020 makes it a priority for our involvement,” said Mangar.
The event will include wine tasting and sampling of a variety of wines, 18 holes of championship golf, and grand prize giving to the winners of the finest Ventisquero wines.
President of the LGC, Aleem Hussain, has thanked the owners of the Wine Vault for their support.
“Just like fine wine, the best things in life takes time to come to fruition, and I am pleased to welcome the Wine Vault as the Club’s newest partner! I know that many of our members are regular customers and will be very appreciative of the great prizes that will be handed out on Saturday,” Aleem Hussain has said
The tournament will start at 12:30pm, and wine sampling will be between 4:30 and 6pm. There will be three flights: 0-9, 10-18 and 19-36, so all categories of players (proficient and beginners) can be accommodated. A nearest to pin competition at the end of the tournament, along with a putting contest, will also provide opportunities to win prizes for all in attendance.
The Wine Vault
Since 2017, ‘The Wine Vault’, located at the Marriott Hotel, has been touted as the “purveyor of fine wines”, and has focused on introducing a vast array of wines from around the world, including from France, California, Argentina, Chile, Australia, Spain and Italy.
If one cannot visit the Wine Vault’s elegant store at the Marriott, their vast array of wines can be found in many of the country’s top restaurants and bars.
“The Wine Vault’s vision combines world-class service with some of the best wines in the world, especially at this time with the influx of foreigners in Guyana since the massive oil and gas discoveries by ExxonMobil,” co-owner Shewjattan has expressed.
The owners try to personally visit the locations from which they source their fine wines “to figure out the winemaking process, the quality of grapes, and exactly what makes one better than the other, so that their clients have the best in their hands”.
With the knowledge and experience gained from visiting vineyards and attending seminars, the team is well equipped to train and educate both staff and customers on the various types of wines they stock.
“The three of us pride ourselves on the fact that we don’t sell wine, we create a palatable experience for our clients that is perfect for every occasion and meal,” Sharma added. “The goal is to add new wines to our stock each year, and introduce the wonderful world of wine to Guyanese one glass at a time.”
