Raffles London at The OWO

Congratulations are in order for Philipp Reinstaller MSS, Head Sommelier at Mauro Colagreco, on being awarded UK Sommelier of the Year 2024 at this year's UK Sommelier of the Year contest organised by the UK Sommelier Academy and the IWSC - Club Oenologique. We would also like to congratulate Dion Wai and Picon Valentin for placing 2nd and 8th respectively. The awards highlight standards in the field of wine service with each contestant facing assessments in written blind tastings, theory exams, service tasks, and food and wine pairings. The journey to the finals demanded remarkable skill and perseverance, culminating in a rigorous series of tasks for the top three finalists. These included wine list correction, blind tasting, a service challenge, a bar task, food and wine pairing, and a champagne pour. This comprehensive testing showcased the versatility and expertise required to excel in the sommelier profession. #RafflesHotels #RafflesLondonAtTheOWO #SommelierOfTheYear #AwardWinning

Where there’s a Raffles butler, almost anything can happen. Legendary since 1887, Raffles’ impeccable butler service is now immortalised in our motion picture by director Trey Laird and photographer Dylan Don, starring Tim Easton as the butler and an intriguing cast of characters played by Robert Rabensteiner, Waris Ahluwalia and May Siu. At Raffles, whatever your singular need: before you even have to ask… The Butler Did It. #RafflesHotels #TheButlerDidIt
