Cheers to World-Class Wine: Finestra Wins Big at the 2026 Wine Spectator Awards

If you believe a great meal deserves an equally great bottle of wine, then you’ll love this.

Finestra at Solaire Resort Entertainment City and Solaire Resort Quezon City have once again earned the prestigious Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence 2026, further cementing their place among the country’s premier wine dining destinations.

What truly sets Finestra apart is the sheer scale of its wine collection. Finestra at Solaire Entertainment City boasts an incredible 670 wine labels—the largest wine cellar in the Philippines—while Finestra at Solaire Quezon City offers an equally impressive 395 labels. Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or simply enjoy discovering new vintages, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Even more remarkable, Finestra Entertainment City remains the only restaurant in the Philippines to receive Wine Spectator’s coveted ”$$$” designation, reserved for restaurants with exceptional collections of rare and ultra-premium wines. Its Quezon City counterpart also earned the distinguished ”$$” designation, a testament to the depth and quality of its expertly curated wine list.

The recognition doesn’t come easily. The Best of Award of Excellence is given only to restaurants that excel not just in the breadth of their wine selection, but also in service, wine education, and creating memorable dining experiences. This marks the third consecutive year for Finestra Entertainment City and the second straight year for Finestra Quezon City.

As someone who enjoys discovering exceptional dining experiences, I love seeing Philippine restaurants receive international recognition like this. It’s another reminder that world-class food and wine experiences can be found right here at home.

So whether you’re planning a romantic date night, celebrating a special occasion, or simply treating yourself to authentic Italian cuisine paired with an award-winning wine list, Finestra deserves a spot on your dining bucket list.

Here’s to unforgettable meals, exceptional wines, and many more reasons to celebrate. Cin cin! 🍷✨
