Saunter down a dramatic candlelit staircase to this cellar-like hideaway in the Rosewood hotel, probably Abu Dhabi's best destination for oenophiles in need. More than 1000 wine labels await, a handful of which are available by the glass (give Ixsir Altitudes Red from Lebanon a shot). Pair with the all-you-can-eat buffet of gourmet Spanish tapas, cheeses and desserts.
Wednesday wine tastings (Dhs180 for a three-glass tasting plus the buffet) rotate by country (monthly) and region (weekly). Fans of the good juice could definitely settle into one of these wide leather armchairs and while away a few hours.
