Male’, Maldives, 17th September 2023 – Mark your calendars for the 6th to 8th of November when Nova, the shining new star among resorts in the Maldives, will play host to the vintner extraordinaire, Nicolas Maillart, for an exclusive three-day event, an immersive exploration into the world of wine and oenology. The Maillart family’s legacy, which traces its roots back to 1753, boasts a rich history of vine cultivation and the art of crafting exceptional sparkling wines.
