Our Story

Bottega is more than a name – it’s a destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Brought to life by Saverio Cardillo, the visionary behind the brand, Bottega reflects over a decade of expertise in whisky tastings and a passion for curating exceptional experiences.

Here, A Dram is only as good as the company it keeps

For Saverio, whisky is about companionship. Its enjoyment is deepened through conversation, connection, and the opportunity to engage.

Since 2013, he has hosted bespoke tastings that bring people together – each week exploring a new distillery, paired with thoughtfully selected dishes and guided by different experts.

What began as tastings has evolved into something more meaningful: a growing collective of whisky lovers.

Not aficionados. Nothing exclusive. Just a shared appreciation for the experience, the education, the moment it hits the spot, and the memories created along the way.

HERE YOU'LL FIND YOUR NEW WHISKY HOME

Today, Bottega exists as a multi-faceted brand, offering unforgettable moments both in-person and online through three distinct experiences:

Bottega Whisky and Wine Bar – a refined space where international travellers can relax and indulge before their journey. Home to one of the largest whisky and wine collections in any airport globally, it caters to both connoisseurs and curious explorers with an expertly curated selection.

Bottega Café – a much-loved Italian restaurant and neighbourhood favourite. Tucked away in the heart of Parkhurst, this cosy and intimate spot has built a loyal following for its wholesome, home-style cooking and warm atmosphere. Whether it’s a hearty meal or an impromptu whisky tasting, Bottega Café is where flavour and community meet. To make a booking, call 011 447 4448.

Bottega Whisky Club – the digital home for whisky, wine, and tequila enthusiasts. With nationwide delivery and a constantly evolving selection of rare expressions, it offers easy access to coveted bottles and curated collections, while also making gifting simple through flexible vouchers.

At its core, Bottega is driven by Saverio’s mission: to demystify and democratise whisky one bottle, one conversation, and one shared experience at a time.
