Wine is more than just a drink—it’s a culture, a story, and an evolving experience. At the forefront of this transformation in India is CELLAR 33, founded in 2023 by Amrita Singh and Mattia Antonio Cianca in Bordeaux. Specializing in Champagne, wine, and spirits, CELLAR 33 aims to bridge Europe’s finest selections with India’s dynamic wine culture. With their presence at Vinexpo and ProWine India, the duo is shaping India’s growing appreciation for fine wines. Mattia, an award-winning sommelier, brings deep expertise, having earned the titles Best Sommelier of Australia (2017) and Italy (2019). Amrita, a former fashion industry leader and Master of Wine candidate, blends branding expertise with a passion for diverse wines. In an exclusive conversation, they shared how CELLAR 33 is redefining wine pairings, curating a portfolio that respects tradition while embracing modern values. They believe that India’s evolving wine market presents immense potential but requires a thoughtful approach to education and accessibility. Their initiative, Project India, helps international producers establish strong connections with local distributors and importers. One of their most surprising insights? India’s drinking culture differs significantly from Europe’s, with heavier consumption before meals rather than paired with food. This contrast influences how CELLAR 33 introduces wines to the Indian market. Pushing boundaries, they propose an unconventional pairing: samosas with Orange Wine—specifically, Diversamente Bianco from Tenuta del Conte. This offbeat combination reflects their philosophy of breaking rules to enhance appreciation. With a commitment to sustainability, heritage, and innovation, CELLAR 33 is shaping India’s wine story, one bottle at a time.
In an exclusive interview with Hospitality News, Jimmy Mistry, the visionary founder of Della Group, shared his remarkable journey from entrepreneur to pioneering leader in multiple industries. His insights provide a glimpse into the transformative journey of Della Resorts and the future of hospitality and adventure tourism. With over two decades of experience in design, hospitality, real estate, and adventure tourism, Jimmy Mistry has redefined the meaning of luxury, blending it seamlessly with adventure. Della Resorts, his flagship brand, reflects this philosophy where guests are treated to an extraordinary combination of thrill, indulgence, and world-class design. Mistry explains, “We became pioneers of experiential hospitality and adventure tourism in India, offering a unique mix of stay, gastronomy, design, and entertainment under one roof.” The journey to creating Della Resorts was fueled by a gap Mistry identified in the hospitality sector—a lack of a true combination of adventure, luxury, and design. He reveals, “The defining moment came when I realized the industry needed something new—something that combined adventure with world-class comfort.” This vision has driven Della Group’s expansion, from creating India’s largest extreme adventure park to launching luxury resorts with experiences that are as unique as they are memorable. As an entrepreneur, Mistry’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. One of his boldest moves was creating an adventure park in Lonavala, traditionally known as a leisure destination. He transformed the landscape, and today, Della Adventure Park is India’s largest. But this is just the beginning. Under his leadership, Della Resorts has introduced India’s first 24-hour fine dining restaurant and pet-friendly resort, along with the country’s first in-house entertainment production at a resort. Looking toward the future, Mistry emphasizes the importance of sustainability and innovation. At Della, sustainability is more than just a buzzword. It’s embedded into the brand’s core values, with initiatives such as water treatment systems and eco-friendly amenities. "For us, every decision is guided by conscience," says Mistry, illustrating how sustainability and luxury can coexist. But what truly sets Della Resorts apart is its commitment to personalized experiences. With over 50 unique offerings, including helicopter joyrides and exclusive culinary tours, guests are assured that every stay is tailored to their preferences, ensuring they return time and again. As he reflects on his journey, Mistry offers advice to future entrepreneurs: "Never compromise on your vision and always commit to excellence." His success, he believes, is built not only on passion but on the desire to make a positive impact on society. This conversation with Jimmy Mistry is just the tip of the iceberg. For a deeper dive into his visionary approach to hospitality and adventure tourism, check out the full interview in the April edition of Hospitality News available on our website and in physical copies at select locations.
