According to a press release, Graycliff Hotel & Restaurant offers a casually elegant oasis where guests are welcomed with gracious service in a refined setting.
“Located in the heart of Nassau, its lush gardens provide a serene escape from daily life and feature the hotel’s signature pool, adorned with a mesmerizing mosaic design by artist Sergio Furnari. The hotel’s acclaimed culinary scene begins with Graycliff Restaurant, known for its gourmet dining experience that combines Bahamian specialties with European cuisine and selections from its multi-award-winning Wine Cellar.”

Additionally, Graycliff Restaurant celebrates an unprecedented 36th consecutive year receiving Wine Spectator’s Grand Award, cementing its status as a global leader in exceptional wine experiences. This prestigious recognition will be featured in the August 31, 2024, issue of Wine Spectator.
“Since earning its first Wine Spectator award in 1986, Graycliff has continually redefined excellence,” a release continued. “In 1988, it became the first restaurant in the Bahamas and Caribbean to receive the coveted Grand Award, setting a high standard for wine programs worldwide.”
Graycliff’s visionary CEO, Enrico Garzaroli, and its talented sommelier team share a passion for exceptional standards and memorable wine experiences.
Garzaroli remarked, “Winning the Grand Award for a remarkable 36th year is a thrilling achievement. It validates our passionate commitment to curating an extraordinary wine selection and creating unforgettable dining experiences. Our sommeliers take great pleasure in guiding guests through our extensive collection to enhance their culinary journey.”
Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Awards, launched in 1981, initially honored 13 restaurants with Grand Awards for their wine lists. Since 1988, Graycliff Restaurant has remained a distinguished member of this elite group, showcasing an evolving wine collection featuring top producers, mature vintages, and large-format bottles.
To determine winners, Wine Spectator conducts rigorous on-site inspections of each candidate’s wine program, cellar, service, ambiance, and cuisine. Graycliff’s consistent recognition among the world’s best, amidst over 30,000 annual applicants, is a testament to its enduring excellence.

His pursuit of high-quality wines has made Graycliff’s cellar one of the largest private collections globally.
