A Curated Journey Across Centuries

According to Djordje Knezevic, Head Sommelier at Amelia Dubai: “We wanted to create a menu that not only honours the classics but also introduces guests to regions and producers that often go unnoticed.”

The selection process balanced global trends, guest preferences, and the versatility of the restaurant’s food menu. Wines were chosen to accommodate every diner, whether enjoying a single glass or a bottle, while perfectly complementing the culinary offerings. This includes crisp whites and sake with Japanese dishes, bold reds paired with premium steaks, and champagne selections perfect for celebrations. 

The menu introduces a refined balance of both iconic and emerging labels. It highlights expressive wines from the United States alongside distinguished selections from across Europe and beyond. 

Knezevic stated, “Our goal was to combine the prestige of classic Old World wines with fresh, contemporary finds from the New World.”

Design, Discovery, and Diversity

The menu’s design is as thoughtful as its content where each region is visually mapped. This allows guests to navigate their wine journey intuitively, even without a sommelier’s guidance. 

“Wine, to me, is about bringing people together,” Knezevic shared. “This menu is designed to elevate every occasion, enriching the dining experience at Amelia with diversity, accessibility, and a sense of discovery.”

It offers guests a journey that is global in inspiration and local in heart.
