We decided to do something controversial and crush the myth that Indian food and wine do not compliment each other. Director de Cuisine Rahul Akerkar and MasterChef Mukthar Qureshi of Neel – Tote by the Turf combined forces with our very own Sommelier Nikhil Agarwal to put together a perfect 4 course wine dinner of Awadhi cuisine and a selection of eight international and Indian wines.
MEDIA
We only drink the finest, eat the rarest and travel the roads that lead to indulgent experiences. So we make for great content for your publication.
Nikhil Agarwal writes some pretty straight up articles on wine and spirits and can be your columnist for an added spin on the month’s issue.
EDUCATION
We think the best way to learn about wines is to try all of them! But we also offer educational programs for learning wine in theory.
- If you own a restaurant or hotel, ensure that you educate your staff on wine brands, right pronunciation and information on tasting notes and more. Your wait staff are your best salesmen so grow your own business by offering them a chance to learn wines through us.
- If you simply want to learn the mysteries of wine, we have informal sessions that combine education and learning and can even do this within the space of your home, if you choose.
LUXURY REALTY
Our penchant for all things nice led us further into the world of luxury living and we became the natural partners for realty giant, Knight Frank. We now have access to premium residences and commercial spaces across the world. Our role in luxury realty is simple – we have our pulse on the hottest premium spaces not just in India but worldwide, which we will be more than thrilled to introduce to our members while Knight Frank handles the finer details.
Look out for our clandestine realty showcases under The All Things Nice Luxury Realty umbrella and you may just land yourself your perfect home or office, at a steal. Email to inquire at luxuryrealty@allthingsnice.in
