Quintess and Destination Cellars Partner

Date: March 10, 2010

Destination Cellars, the industry's only wine and food themed destination club, has announced yet another partnership with one of the leading players in the sector: Quintess, The Leading Residences of the World.

"Destination Cellars arranged most of our wine tours and tastings when we stayed at one of Quintess, LRW’s Napa Valley homes this past October," said Quintess members Tom and Diane McMeekin. "Everything was over-the-top wonderful, from baking our own pizza in the outdoor oven at Fisher and drinking their fantastic wines to a visit with Dan Kosta of Kosta Browne where we barrel tasted and sampled their highly rated wines. We since have attended the Kosta Browne wine dinner in New York and truly enjoyed ourselves. Our connection to Destination Cellars moved us to the top of Kosta Browne’s 17,000+ wait list to get in to their First Release Wine Club."

"I would call this the 'trifecta,'" said Destination Cellars Founder and CEO David Keuhner. "An amazing wine experience in Napa, then carried over to a private wine dinner in New York City, and then the client purchases wine!"

Destination Cellars is "the first and only luxury destination club that offers affluent wine, food and travel enthusiasts the exclusive and personalized access to prestigious winery properties around the world." As mentioned by both the McKeekins and Keuhner, some of the services available to Destination Cellars members include special wine tastings, private cellar tours, cooking lessons, and the procurement of some of the world's finest wines.

With the new partnership with Quintess, Destination Cellars now counts three destination clubs in their expansive partnership network, joining long-time partner Exclusive Resorts and the more recent announcement of an alliance with The Markers Club.

Keuhner hinted about this announcement with Quintess when we profiled their partnership with The Markers Club last month. Now with Exclusive Resorts and Quintess, the largest and third largest destination clubs respectively, is a partnership with Ultimate Escapes, the world's second largest club, the next step?
