Things to do in Manila: shopping at Wine Capital of Philippines, Clark Freeport Zone
A wide variety of back vintages of Bordeaux, Burgundy and wines from all major wine regions of the world are the shopping pleasures of wine lovers coming to Clark Philippines from Manila, Cebu and all over Asia. Most are impressed by the availability of good value labels, which are not that famous and therefore hardly seen in Asia. Although many novice Asian wine lovers and collectors stick to big names with high point ratings, more experienced wine collectors and connoisseurs scour the wine shops in Clark for these rare finds. Wine connoisseurs in Philippines are smart and go for better values in the Cru Bourgeois for Bordeaux and the lesser known domaines and negociants wines - especially the 1er cru wines - in Burgundy.
A must for wine enthusiasts visiting this wine capital of Philippines is a visit to Clark Wine Center which is located along the main highway M A Roxas in Clark. This stand-alone two storey white building isn't impressive from the outside but once the little door on the side of the building opens, there are thousands of liquid treasures waiting for the wine shoppers to indulge and have a great time.
Wine shoppers discover a convenient nightlife spot to enjoy the fine wines they just acquired during a day of wine shopping in Angeles Cit Clark Freeport Zone. There is a fine-dining wine restaurant called Yats Restaruant and Wine Bar in Clark Philippines http://www.YatsRestaurant.com. This restaurant is located inside the Mimosa Leisure Estate which also houses a 36-hole championship golf club called Mimosa Golf, as well as a casino. Serving French Mediterranean cuisine with an award-winning 3000-line wine list, this upscale restaurant also has a wine bar called Magnum Room, opened 5pm everyday for before and after-dinner relaxation. Saturday evenings see BYOB dinners at Yats Restaurant where local wine lovers back from travels abroad, gather with their recent shopping discoveries over a specially prepared wine-friendly dinner and corkage fee is waived.
Public wine tastings are held from time to time in Clark and sometimes in Manila. Tickets range from p1000 to p1500 for these themed events that are professionally run –no wine merchants sponsorship, pushy salesmen or tacky banners to ruin the evening. Each ticket contains a certain number of stubs that can be redeemed for a tasting pour of a wine of choice among those on a line-up. Very often, the lineup contains wines that are quite old and expensive.
Clark is packed with action, so wine shopping aside, there are other meaningful things to spend some quality time. Those looking for peace and quiet find their way to nearby Clearwater Resort located in the central business district of Clark Freeport. For a more invigorating night at the local pub, the English-styled London Pub is a popular gathering place for foreigners and locals living in Angeles City, Subic and Clark.
All in all, the wine lifestyle in Clark is more than just hours and hours of shopping and bargain hunting. A day of wine in Clark includes a fine wine dinner, a bit of wine tasting perhaps and along with that anything one can imagine to enjoy with wine. It is no wonder that Clark is not the wine capital of the Philippines and fast gaining popularity and approval for wine lovers from all over the world.
