Exclusive Resorts Named Alliance Partner of the Year by Destination Cellars

Date: December 8, 2010

During 2010, Destination Cellars announced partnerships with two longtime players in the destination club space: Quintess, LRW and The Markers Club. While destination clubs aren't the full extent of Destination Cellars partnership network, the wine themed club did name one club from the industry as their inaugural Alliance Partner of the Year. While Quintess and The Markers were in the running, Destination Cellars honored Exclusive Resorts with the honor.

"We work constantly to provide our members unique luxury experiences that are hard to find anywhere else, and Destination Cellars has been an outstanding partner in helping us fulfill this priority," said Jeff Potter, the Chief Executive Officer of Exclusive Resorts. "Their highly personalized approach and exceptional service, paired with the remarkable access they have to leading wineries all over the world, has earned them consistent raves from our members. We are honored to be selected as their inaugural Alliance Partner of the Year."

The Exclusive Resorts and Destination Cellars partnership was announced in August of 2008 and has been a staple ever since. The successful union helped pave the way for the partnership with The Markers Club in February of 2010 and the subsequent partnership with Quintess announced just a month later and has delighted members since.

Through the alliance with Destination Cellars, Exclusive Resorts members have been able to experience a long list of customized wine events like private tastings and vineyard excursions in popular wine destinations such as Tuscany, Paris, and San Francisco.

In addition to naming Exclusive Resorts as their inaugural Alliance Partner of the Year, Destination Cellars also revealed their Winery Partners of the Year, selecting Fantesca Estate Winery, Alex Gambal, and Arista Winery for their continued efforts and services during the course of 2010.

"We wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for our great winery partners, our amazing alliance partners and our incredible clients," said David Keuhner, Founder and CEO of Destination Cellars. "Over the last three and half years, we’ve truly established some wonderful friendships and we’ve created some incredible memories. We can’t thank everyone enough."
