The Atlantic Hotel is proud to announce that its extensive wine list has been awarded two California Stars in recognition of its outstanding selection of Californian wines. This prestigious accolade is presented by the California Wine Institute in collaboration with Star Wine List, and highlights European restaurants with a serious commitment to showcasing the best of California’s vineyards.

Hotels and restaurants were invited to submit their wine lists, with successful entries being recognised and given access to complimentary staff training sessions. The Atlantic Hotel was awarded California 2-Star status for presenting a curated list of between 11 and 50 premium Californian wines, placing the hotel among only 37 venues across 12 countries to hold this distinction.

This award reflects the strength and scope of The Atlantic Hotel’s wine list, which features over 450 carefully selected bottles. Each wine has been handpicked to complement the guest dining experience at Ocean Restaurant, celebrating the craftsmanship, passion, and quality that define the hotel’s approach to wine curation.

Patrick Burke, Owner of The Atlantic Hotel, commented: "We are honoured to be included in this prestigious list of venues leading the way in promoting Californian wine in Europe. This recognition speaks to our ongoing commitment to quality and to offering our guests a luxury dining and wine experience."

Alexandru Dan, Head Sommelier at The Atlantic Hotel, added: "California is home to some of the most dynamic and exciting winemakers in the world today. To be recognised for our dedication to presenting their work to our guests is incredibly rewarding. This award also motivates us to continue expanding and refining our wine offering at Ocean Restaurant."
