Have you tried our lychee wine?
We are very excited about the new lychee wine available at Attitude Hotels, created right here in Mauritius! Ask for a Funky Parrot at the bar and you can sip a fresh and fruity white or rosé wine, made by local winemaker Alexander Oxenham. The whole concept of this wine is all about using local produce, local know-how and local workers to create something truly special.
Takamaka, a 100% mauritian & sustainable wine!
Alexander is an experienced oenologist who knows all about creating wines with grapes. But what about the local fruits found right here in Mauritius? Could he create wine from lychees? Alex was up for the challenge!
He has created a truly unique drink, which is delicious. The white and rosé wine is a perfect aperitif and pairs perfectly with curries, spicy dishes, cheese and salads.
As the wine is made by Alexander and his team on the island, it doesn’t have to travel far to fill your glass. The whole concept of this wine is all about using local produce, local know-how and local workers to create something truly special. We are proud to be helping give a spotlight to Takamaka wine and bring local flavours into our hotels, so guests can enjoy a glass or two during their holiday. Funky Parrot is available as part of our all-inclusive package, so enjoy!
Thoughtfully made.
By keeping our choices local, we can reduce our environmental footprint and help manage the lifecycle of the product. We know that rainwater is collected to wash the tanks and water rich in organic sediments is used to water the orchard. The lychee skins and seeds are used for compost; and manual workers, rather than machinery, are used to label, cork and box the wine, ensuring Takamaka – and Attitude Hotels – helps support the local economy.
Are you looking forward to trying Takamaka during your next holiday?

When oenology reinvents itself
“By creating the only winery in Mauritius dedicated to the production of lychee wine, I wanted to write the art of winemaking differently: with a lot of audacity, some technical know how and a great amount of fun.’’
