The Wine Collection
New this year, we have introduced our Wine Menu - a collection of carefully chosen mixed wine cases ranging from local specialities to the Connoisseur's Collection. These can all be pre ordered before you get to resort and they will be waiting for you like an old friend once you arrive in your chalet!
Vingerons des Grieseilles is a family run business based in Rhone Alpes that have been sourcing wine for Skiworld for the past 10 years. This year we have asked them to find us some extra special wines from local regions near the resorts we visit, thus enabling you to enjoy some little gems you wouldn't find in the mainstream. Enjoy!
Peruse the tasting notes below and then choose a case of red, white, or rose. If you'd prefer we can do a bit of mix and matching for you too!
