Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery, Croatia: Art, luxury and nature in perfect harmony.
Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery has announced the opening of its new Sculpture Garden, featuring a series of monumental sculptures by Belgian contemporary artist Arne Quinze. Curated by Berlin-based art consultant Reiner Opoku, a series of large-scale sculptures offer an enchanting fusion of contemporary sculpture and rural nature, bringing new color and light to the property.
Sculpture Exhibition ‚Lupines‘
The first exhibition entitled “Lupines”, inspired by the typical flower of southern Istria, symbolizing imagination and the cycle of life, will be on display at the estate until October 2024. The exhibition shows our continuous effort and commitment to bring art and culture to the region, and is the first of many more exhibitions that will be presented at the estate.
Meneghetti is already known worldwide for its subtle luxury, nestled in the nature that surrounds it. We couldn’t think of a better way to complement the property even more than to bring in Mr. Quinze’s sculptures and place them throughout the property. The philosophy behind his artwork is something we already appreciate at Meneghetti and we find this to be a perfect symbiosis of nature, luxury and art in one place.
