The Kingsbury brings the world of exquisite vino to Colombo Been contemplating a visit to the Yarra or the Napa Valleys for a wine-tasting adventure?

Well, now the purveyor of the good life in hospitality, The Kingsbury, is offering you an opportunity to indulge in a buffet of exquisite vino

from around the world, sans the travel. Indulge yourself in The Kingsbury lifestyle as you savour the nectar of fine vintages with your very own sommelier at hand.

Spicy, with fine rich tannins, silky, intense berry fruit balanced with subtle oak infusions, your sommelier will show you how to pair this indulgent wine with poultry, reserved for a special occasion.
