Le Jardin, the restaurant at Rosewood São Paulo, has once again been recognized by Wine Spectator, one of the most respected wine-focused publications in the world. For the fourth consecutive year, the restaurant has received the Award of Excellence, an honor granted to restaurants that stand out for the quality, diversity, and coherence of their wine lists.

Established in 1981, the award evaluates criteria such as the depth and breadth of the wine selection, the representation of different wine-producing regions, the clarity of the wine list presentation, and its ability to complement and enhance the restaurant’s culinary concept.

This recognition reinforces the ongoing work developed by the wine team at Rosewood São Paulo, which seeks to build a selection capable of reflecting different terroirs, production styles, and narratives, fostering connections between producers, regions, and dining experiences.

Currently, the wine list at Le Jardin features more than 450 national and international labels, with a strong presence of Brazilian producers and a curated selection that includes artisanal, natural, biodynamic, and kosher wines. The program broadens the gastronomic experience by highlighting different styles, origins, and expressions of wine.

“Currently, we offer a selection that brings together hundreds of labels from different parts of the world, with a strong presence of Brazilian producers. Receiving this recognition for the fourth consecutive year confirms our commitment to offering a complete experience, where wine and gastronomy go hand in hand and tell stories through each glass”

- Júlia Derado, Wine Director, Rosewood São Paulo

The wine list at Le Jardin was designed to engage directly with its culinary concept, enhancing the guest experience through pairings that highlight seasonal ingredients and diverse culinary expressions.

Among the highlights of the selection is the strong presence of Brazilian producers and suppliers, reflecting the team’s commitment to increasing the visibility of Brazilian viticulture and showcasing the diversity of wines produced in the country.

"We believe that a great wine list should go beyond the selection of labels. It should reveal territories, value producers, and create memorable experiences. We will continue to expand this repertoire with a focus on quality, authenticity, and sustainability, seeking partners who share the same values that guide our work.”

- Júlia Derado, Wine Director, Rosewood São Paulo

With this latest recognition, Le Jardin reaffirms its position as one of Brazil’s leading enogastronomic destinations, contributing to the strengthening of wine culture through a curation that blends tradition, discovery, and diversity.
