WHERE WINE MEETS STORYTELLING
Led by Restaurant Manager and Head Sommelier Maxime Resse, the wine programme is an integral part of the Huset experience.
​
"This collection began in 1979 and has since been carefully developed by a succession of sommeliers. Today, it features more than 1,000 selections from around the world, representing every style of wine. The cellar has been recognised with Wine Spectator’s “Award of Excellence” (two glasses) for three consecutive years."
