La Ville Hotel and Suites, CITY WALK Dubai, have curated an exciting new experience to be enjoyed with family and friends.

With the cooler climate marking the arrival of al fresco dining season, the chic boutique hotel in the heart of City Walk have announced the return of its popular Grapeskin Fest. Taking place across the vibey and cosy Grapeskin Grape Bar & Kitchen, the homegrown grape festival will feature over 50 varieties of international grapes, artisan cheese and fantastic live entertainment.

Whether you are a grape connoisseur or just looking for a fun evening out with friends, Grapeskin's rustic terrace and atmospheric courtyard will play host to a selection of grapes from across the globe. This year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, and will include a "blind tasting" station where guests will walk away with their glass for free, should they manage to guess the grape they are drinking correctly.
