The Luxe Factor: Elegant tablescaping for a private dinner for two Some of the most memorable moments of a honeymoon happen far from the beach or the pool, at a small private table set for exactly two people. Whether it’s a candlelit dinner on a villa terrace in Santorini or an in-suite meal overlooking the water in the Maldives, an elegant round tablecloth for an intimate dinner does more work than most couples realize in setting the mood for the evening. Below, we walk through what actually goes into creating that kind of moment, from the table linen itself to the small details that separate a genuinely elegant setting from one that just looks nice in photos. Why a Round Table Works Best for Two A round table changes the entire feel of a dinner for two. Unlike a long rectangular table, which naturally puts distance between guests, a round table keeps both people close, facing each other directly rather than at an angle. For a honeymoon dinner specifically, this small architectural detail matters more than it seems. Couples lean in rather than lean across, and the whole meal feels more like a conversation than a formal service. Most luxury villas and private dining setups already lean toward round tables for exactly this reason, which is why the tablecloth chosen for one needs to be cut specifically for a round shape rather than a rectangular cloth awkwardly draped over the edges. Choosing the Right Elegant Round Tablecloth This is where a lot of otherwise beautiful table settings fall short. A poorly fitted tablecloth, even an expensive one, immediately reads as an afterthought, while a well-cut round cloth in the right fabric weight elevates everything set on top...

The Hong Kong based boutique wine importer, Flavours from Apulia, recently hosted a wine tasting of Southern Italian wines from the Apulia region at the Gaia Italian restaurant in Hong Kong. Flavours from Apulia wines represent the richness of the grape varieties available in the Apulia region, focusing on both small and less known wineries of the territory, as well as more internationally known and awarded ones. The event was sponsored by the Italian Chamber of Commerce, which regularly sponsors some of the finest Italian F&B related events in Hong Kong. The setting for the tasting was the elegant & contemporary Gaia Ristorante, which has an alfresco Italian piazza style setting in Sheung Wan. Gaia Ristorante On offer was a great selection of 9 labels including red, white & sparkling, including organic and vegan certified wines from boutique wineries in the Puglia region of south-east Italy, which  due to its location and shape has earned the nickname “heel of the Italian boot”. It is the region with the longest coastline in Italy and offers breathtaking landscapes. But more than everything, it is a land of hospitality and great food and wines. The wine labels are produced from grapes grown in the Apulia region and most of these grapes are indigenous, dating back to the Roman Empire, such as Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera, Verdeca and Primitivo. Some of the wines are also produced using more well known grapes, like Chardonnay which gains very interesting flavours growing in this warm and dry region. Puglia Map Some of the wineries represented included: (1) Cantine Brancasi, with its DOC wines being produced using Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grapes, typical grapes from the area, but also quality wines with Chardonnay and...
