It’s #WineWednesday in La Rotonda Bar at The Royal Haciendas, our Riviera Maya resort. Don’t miss the new Wine Tasting event on Wednesday afternoon from 4 to 5 p.m.

On this occasion you’ll be trying wines made from Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

The cost is US$20 per person and space is limited. Reservations are required, ext. 66214. The event is included for members purchasing the REFINE All-Inclusive package.
