Think you know wine? Think again.
This April, step beneath the waves into Vinum, Huvafen Fushi’s subterranean wine cellar—the Maldives’ first of its kind—for an exclusive tasting unlike anything you’ve experienced.
Riedel CEO and glassware visionary Maximilian Riedel will personally guide a select group of guests through four distinct glasses from the Riedel Veloce collection, revealing how the shape and size of each glass can influence aroma, texture and flavour.
Set in a uniquely immersive underground space, this is a rare opportunity to explore the art of wine enjoyment with a master of the craft. An intimate, playful and unforgettable evening awaits – a true feast for the senses.
A Legacy of Innovation

Representing the eleventh generation of his family’s glassware business, Riedel continues to evolve the company’s signature Wine Glass Experience, educational tastings that reach over 50,000 wine enthusiasts globally each year. His approach blends traditional Austrian craftsmanship with contemporary sensibilities.
Resort General Manager Noel Cameron noted that Riedel’s participation reflects the property’s commitment to carefully crafted guest experiences where attention to detail extends from wine selection to serving vessel.
Riedel emphasized his company’s functional design philosophy, explaining that their glassware serves a singular purpose: to showcase wine at its finest. He expressed enthusiasm about demonstrating the impact of proper glassware selection within Huvafen Fushi’s distinctive subterranean venue, where guests will witness firsthand how thoughtfully designed glasses can elevate their wine experience.
