Opened 6 years ago and located in Hampshire's, beautiful
New Forest, National Park by Nina and Gerard Basset, OBE, who was the co
founder of the original Hotel du Vin Group. Subsequent to the sale of Hotel du
Vin, Gerard and Nina (she being the youngest ever Hotel/Restaurant Inspector),
opened Hotel TerraVina, following an extensive refurbishment and renovation
programme which lasted seven months and cost far too much money. Gerard has
gained tremendous success as a hotelier/sommelier, including his fantastic
achievement at winning the World Sommelier Title in April 2010- there is an
interesting background story to the challenge of preparing for such a
competition and juggling the needs of running a business at the same time- the
title and gold medal are the equivalent of winning a gold medal at the
Olympics.
TerraVina has evolved hugely and changed considerably
since those first early years. Much comment has been made regarding the interiors,
the look and feel of the hotel and the fact that it feels like the forest has
"come inside" and the hotel has been featured greatly in the National
press and many glossy magazines. There have also been TV shows where Nina,
Gerard and the team, as well as the hotel and its forest location have been
featured and Gerard and head sommelier, Laura Rhys featured in the Michel Roux
Service TV show too. TerraVina has helped to bring the New Forest to people's
attention as a great destination for a relaxing weekend away and has shown
Hampshire and its neighbouring counties to be beautiful places to visit.
