Ristorante Panorama earned the distinction from Guinness World Records of “Largest Wine Keeper/Cruvinet.” The unique wine bar’s customer-built, 120-bottle wine keeper was designed by owner Luca Sena in 1990 when he opened the restaurant. The cruvinet is the key to the restaurant’s extensive offering of flights and up to 150 wines by the glass on any given day. The wine keeper is officially the largest wine preservation and dispensing system in the world.
Bon Appétit!
