maltatoday | SUNDAY • 11 JUNE 2023 8 COMMERCIAL Marsovin presents Antonin Under the Stars: a unique wine experience at Ramla Valley Estate MARSOVIN is proud to an- nounce its upcoming wine event - Antonin Under the Stars. The event will take place at the pictur- esque Ramla Valley Estate in Gozo on the 4th and 5th of August and promises to be a unique wine ex- perience for all who attend. The event is named after Marso- vin' s flagship white wine Antonin Blanc, made from grapes grown on the very same estate. The event will celebrate the grape harvest for vintage 2023 and offer patrons a chance to experience the idyllic setting of the vineyard under a starlit sky. The Ramla Valley Estate is locat- ed at the base of the hill leading to Ramla Bay in Gozo. The vineyard is protected by hills that shield the vines from strong winds. The proximity of the sea creates a re- freshing breeze that helps to mod- erate the hot summer tempera- tures and preserve acidity levels in the grapes. Planted in 2001, the es- tate spans 4.2 hectares of land and features 18,000 vines, exclusively of the chardonnay variety. For both nights, a guided vine- yard tours will be held by Mars- ovin' s wine specialists between 19:00 & 20:00hrs, half an hour before the event's official open- ing time, for those who wish to further explore the vineyard. Ta' Frenċ will be providing delectable catering throughout the evening, and Swing Nuages will be provid- ing musical entertainment. Guests will have the opportunity to taste premium wines made from grapes grown on the estate, including An- tonin Blanc and Blanc de Cheval, as well as an additional selection of wines produced by Marsovin. A limited number of tickets are available for purchase at €55 per person incl. Vat. Ticket price includes entrance, optional vineyard tour between 19:00 & 20:00hrs, a wine glass to take home, food catered by Ta' Frenċ, swing and jazz music by lo- cal band Swing Nuages, and Mar- sovin premium wine all through- out the evening. Antonin Under the Stars is a testament to Marsovin's commit- ment to bringing together the very best of Maltese culture. The event is a unique opportunity to expe- rience the rich cultural heritage of Malta in a beautiful and serene setting.

Organised by Property Malta Foundation, the group had the op- portunity to meet hundreds of potential investors on a prominent Malta Pavilion, which stood out prominently at the en- trance of the venue. A Place in the Sun is the UK's leading overseas property media brand that started as a Channel 4 TV show in 2000 and has since grown to become part of popular TV culture. A magazine of the same name was launched in 2004, with the A Place in the Sun Live exhibitions launching in 2005. Addressing the participants on their re- turn, Property Malta Chairman Sandro Chetcuti, thanked everyone for being there and congratulated them for collaborating so closely to put Malta and Gozo firmly on the minds of potential property investors from the UK. "We originally planned to take part in "A Place in the Sun" in 2019, but the pandemic limited our participation to supporting online promotional activities. Now that we're back with such great feed- back from all the participants, on behalf of the Board, I can say we are so glad to have made this trip so successful", he concluded. Despite the challenges in such a com- petitive market, all participants reported a very encouraging amount of enquiries that could possibly progress to conclusion over the coming months. Various members also got a chance to address daily seminars on real estate in Malta. Audience members had the opportunity to ask questions about post-Brexit buying procedures, taxation, property appreciation trends and various other matters. The Pavilion was also visited by Malta's Minister for Public Works and Planning, Hon. Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi, who accepted an invitation to address one of the seminars. During the visit, Malta's High Commis- sioner for the UK, Emmanuel Mallia hosted the delegation at Malta House in Piccadilly and participants also had a chance to visit two active construction sites to learn more about best practices being adopted in this sector, now and in the future. Property Malta is a public-private Foundation set up with the main aim of promoting Malta's lifestyle identity and to position the country as a leading destination of choice for those interested in purchasing property in the Mediterra- nean.
