First Impression
You sit down under white parasols with a fountain trickling nearby and a wine list lands in your hands that has absolutely no business being this serious. Four to six hundred selections at a hotel terrace in Beverly Hills — this isn't a token gesture, someone actually built this thing. The Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence since 2022 isn't on the menu, but you feel it.
Selection Deep Dive
The backbone is classic and unabashedly French — Burgundy and Bordeaux anchor the list with names like Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet, and Château Margaux doing the heavy lifting. California shows up strong with Screaming Eagle, Opus One, Kistler Vineyards Chardonnay, and Ridge Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon, which tells you this list is built for the clientele and not just for show. Italy earns its place through Sassicaia and Antinori Tignanello, leaning into the Mediterranean vibe the menu is chasing. The gaps, if any, are likely in natural wine and the Southern Hemisphere, but at this level that's a quibble.
By the Glass
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is genuinely strong for a hotel terrace, and with bottles running into the hundreds, the pours at $18–$45 represent the accessible entry point most guests will actually use. We'd love to know how often the glass list rotates — the active deals program suggests there's some movement here. If you're not diving into the cellar, the glass program is a legitimate way to drink well without committing.
Antinori Tignanello — $18 glass (estimated half-price night)
Tignanello is a Super Tuscan benchmark — Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc — that holds its own against bottles twice its price on any other list. On a Tuesday through Sunday half-price program, this becomes one of the better glass pours in Beverly Hills, full stop.
Ridge Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon
In a list studded with Napa royalty and First Growths, Ridge Monte Bello quietly sits there being one of California's most underrated age-worthy Cabernets. Most tables at the Maybourne are going to order the Screaming Eagle or the Opus One — which means Monte Bello gets passed over. That's your opportunity.
Château Pétrus
It's here, it's real, and the markup on Pétrus at a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills is going to be painful. If you want to spend that kind of money, spend it elsewhere on this list — you have DRC and Margaux to consider. Pétrus at hotel pricing is a flex, not a value play.
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet + Grilled Branzino
Puligny-Montrachet's textured, mineral-driven Chardonnay from one of Burgundy's most respected white wine domaines is almost unfairly good alongside a simply grilled branzino. The wine's citrus and stone fruit cut through the fish's richness, and the saline minerality echoes the ocean-forward dish without stepping on it.
Tuesday through Sunday — Half-price wine available Tuesday through Sunday — an unusually broad deal program for a hotel of this caliber. Check current terms as hotel specials can shift seasonally.
🔥 The Bottom Line
The Terrace is a legitimately deep, thoughtfully assembled list wearing resort hotel clothes — don't let the parasols fool you. If you're in Beverly Hills and want to drink something serious alongside Mediterranean food in a genuinely beautiful setting, this is where we'd send you.
