In April 2010, Olly launched his first wine bar and eatery, ‘The Glass House’, on board the luxury cruise liner Azura with P&O Cruises.

The Glass House is a sophisticated and informal haven of good food and excellent wine.  The stonking range of 32 wines from around the world have been handpicked by Olly, each one a complete treat. He has even blended the house wine with a little help from his wine-loving chums in Sicily.

Olly says, “Everyone will be able to find a wine to suit them, from riesling-style whites to rich, bold reds. My team will all be trained experts in the individual wines to make sure every passenger has the best possible time.

I want people to have the opportunity to taste wines from some of the destinations Azura will be visiting, as well as charting how international wine has become.

The house wines for Azura, red, rosé and white, I blended from Sicily, while our sparkling wine comes from just outside Venice, a lovely food-friendly prosecco. We sail right past many wine-producing countries, so you can wave to the vineyards as you cruise past!”
