Macau, June 13, 2019 – Wynn Palace Cotai will once again host the Sake Feast with International Wine Challenge (IWC), one of the world's foremost international wine competitions from June 24 to 25. This year's event features an exclusive program focused entirely around sake, which includes Walkabout Tasting, Gala Dinner, Masterclass session and an evening devoted to the Dinner at Mizumi. The IWC event gives food and beverage professionals from around the world an opportunity to return to the UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, where they can meet face-to-face, share culinary ideas and savor the finest in food and wine.    

 

The two-day event will feature 17 sakes that have all received the prestigious IWC Yamagata Trophy and Gold Medal awards, including Japan's Yamagata Sake, which has received the most IWC Japan wine awards for few consecutive years. Representatives from nine of Japan's leading Yamagata sake producers will also attend the events at Wynn Palace to share their extensive knowledge about sake with guests.

 

On the evenings of June 24 and 25, Wynn Palace will host two very special dinner events curated by internationally renowned chefs and complemented by award-winning sakes from Yamagata for guests to enjoy extraordinary dining experiences:

 

 

Wine writers Robert Joseph and Charles Metcalfe are the masterminds behind IWC, which was founded in London in 1984 to select the world's finest wines. Professional judges from around the world use blind tasting methods to assess the wines on three separate occasions to determine the best of the best. The IWC sake competition was introduced in 2007 and has since become the one of the most influential sake competitions outside of Japan and offers an international platform for sake.
