Diverse cultures came together at the recently concluded Philippine Wine Fiesta, a showcase of the most expansive array of wines hosted by the Straits Wine Company at the Axon, Green Sun in Makati City.

Now on its fifth year, the festive evening of exquisite food, excellent wines, impeccable music and socializin­g was powered by PLDT HOME Fibr.

PLDT VP and HOME marketing head Gary Dujali said, “We are pleased to take part in this esteemed celebratio­n among a broad community. More than providing a limitless selection of wines, the Philippine Wine Fiesta offers a world-class experience that guests can take with them wherever they go. The company espouses this notion as it goes beyond delivering a powerful broadband by bringing topnotch experience­s to its consumers.”

Over 15 winemakers came to Manila for this annual event bringing with them over 100 wines for guests to taste and experience. Wines from France, Italy, Austria, New Zealand, USA, Argentina, Australia and India were made available for guests, who also had a chance to enjoy free master classes at the event. A sensationa­l dinner featured a multi- course degustatio­n menu paired with signature and limited vintages of wines.

The Philippine Wine Fiesta proved to be a one-stop venue for shopping, tasting and learning about wine. The event catered to the broadest wine community comprising all novices and connoisseu­rs.

Straits Wine Company general manager Julian Gagliardi said, “This year, we are pleased to celebrate this event with the introducti­on of the fastest 1Gbps speed of PLDT HOME Fibr.”

In addition to good food and fine wines, the event also featured an exclusive crowd, which included some of the country’s first PLDT HOME Fibr 1Gbps customers.

“The company is set to bring this unique occasion to Fibr-powered villages, rolling out more world- class experience­s for our consumers,” Dujali concluded.
