Fairmont Mayakoba has introduced The Collection, an exclusive wine line developed in collaboration with the Mexican winery Bruma and Lulú Martínez, a Mexican-born winemaker trained in Bordeaux. This special range commemorates the resort's 20th anniversary.
Fairmont Mayakoba's The Collection consists of three distinct bottles — The Blanco, which is a delectable Sauvignon Blanc, followed by The Tinto, which blends Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Nebbiolo, and, finally, The Reserva, a Cabernet Franc aged for 18 months in new French oak. These wines are only available at the Fairmont Mayakoba property.
The bottle designs incorporate a wave, a jaguar, and a mangrove, which serve as visual cues that connect the act of drinking to the specific landscape. As such, individuals may not only enjoy highe-end wines but also strikingly designed bottles that evoke elements of Fairmont Mayakoba and the Riviera Maya.

What's Driving This Trend
- Resort-exclusive Wine Lines
- Creating property-only vintages establishes a closed retail ecosystem that can transform hospitality venues into proprietary beverage brands with captive high-margin customers.
- Terroir-inspired Packaging
- Bottle designs that visually tie products to local landscapes enable collectible and narrative-driven packaging strategies that can command premium pricing and brand loyalty.
- Local Winemaker Collaborations
- Collaborations with regional winemakers produce authentic, place-specific offerings that can scale into co-branded product portfolios leveraging both hospitality and artisanal provenance.
Who This Affects Most
- Hospitality
- Exclusive in-house products create opportunities for resorts to diversify revenue streams and deepen guest engagement through branded retail experiences.
- Luxury Goods
- Design-led, destination-themed packaging opens pathways for premium collectible lines and limited-edition releases that blur hospitality and high-end consumer markets.
- Wine and Beverage
- Regionally crafted, label-driven products allow producers to experiment with exclusive distribution models and direct-to-consumer channels tied to experiential tourism.
