Reinvention of the Malliouhana Wine Collection

Malliouhana’s original Sommelier Albert Lake and Shelley Lindgren, James Beard Award winner, have teamed up to reimagine and recreate the legendary wine collection that Malliouhana was known for in the 1980’s. Malliouhana’s collection now holds over 300 different labels and over 7,000 bottles of wine from around the world, with an emphasis on exquisite and unique varietals from across Europe and California. As a result, Malliouhana has won a 2024 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

Make sure to check out Malliouhana’s two 40^th Anniversary custom wines created in partnership with Shelley’s sustainably produced Tansy Wines. Local photorealistic artist Carmel Gumbs created the artwork used on each label.

Introduction of New Culinary Team + New Menu Launch at Leon’s

Malliouhana has returned to her original culinary heights under the new direction of celebrity chef Kerth Gumbs. Chef Kerth is the Executive Director of famed Fenchurch in London and is a former finalist and judge on MasterChef UK.

Originally from Anguilla, Chef Kerth made his first mark at Malliouhana with a new collaboration with Anguilla’s much-loved and praised Chef Kelston “Sweets” Connor. They have completely transformed and elevated the menu at our casual beach bar and restaurant, Leon’s at Meads Bay. Come indulge in shareable island-inspired bites with an Asian twist.

New menus at Celeste and Bar Soleil will also roll out this coming November in celebration of the 40th Anniversary season.
