Wine and cheese to your heart’s content
Some people believe grapes were made for one reason, and one reason only: to make fine wine.
At Crimson Hotel Filinvest City, Manila’s The Lobby Lounge, guests may avail themselves of the Unlimited Wine@The Lobby Lounge package and perfect the art of relaxation with soothing piano music all Fridays and Saturdays.

Savor free-flowing wines from the Land Down Under with a complimentary platter of imported cheese every day, from 7 to 9pm. Choose between two of the finest Willowglen wines—smooth yet complex Cabernet Merlot 2015 from Southeastern Australia, or light and fruity Chardonnay 2015 from Australia’s Riviera Region.
Michael Sagaran shares, “If you love deep berry flavors with a hint of oak and chocolate, go for the Cabernet Merlot. If you prefer a lighter drink with a fruity and refreshing tone, the Chardonnay is perfect. But whichever bottle you choose, both wines go beautifully well with our complimentary cheese platter containing an irresistible array of imported cheeses, like savory and tangy Emmental from Switzerland, luxuriously creamy Camembert from France and all-time favorite Cheddar.”
In case you need more reasons to love wine and cheese, wine has been proven to have natural health benefits, like lowering one’s risk of cardiovascular diseases and brain decline. Meanwhile, all-natural cheese is rich in calcium and low in sodium, which contributes to stronger bones and helps prevent diabetes. How’s that for a healthy indulgence?
Enjoy the Unlimited Wine@The Lobby Lounge promo for P750 net per guest until September 30.
More delights from The Lobby Lounge
Crimson Hotel Filinvest City, Manila’s homage to England continues with Afternoon Tea at The Lobby Lounge.

Afternoon Tea is available daily from 3 to 6pm for P650 for two guests.
