Renowned chef Thomas Keller, Yannick Alleno and Carlo Cracco, along with master winemakers Michel Rolland and Riccardo Cotarella and wine critic Antonio Galloni, have joined forces to launch Domus Artium Reserve – a new private members club centered around an appreciation for fine wines.
Domus Artium Reserve’s first clubhouse is in one of Rome’s most historical palaces: Palazzo Ruspoli. Members will be welcomed to stay at the opulent property as well as host and attend exclusive dinners, parties events and tastings. The highest membership level will even unlock the chance to make your own French or Italian wine with Rolland and Cotarella – an experience few could hope to enjoy.

More permanent clubhouses are projected to launch throughout the course of the year, with a full calendar of programming to be revealed in due course. Membership inquiries are now being accepted on a strict referal-only basis (although fees have not yet been publicly disclosed.)
To coincide with the launch, Keller has also announced the launch of a collaborative wine release with Rolland. Launching later this year, the Bordeaux blend will be primarily sold out of the chef’s celebrated restaurants, but also via a waitlist. Rolland is also partnering with Cotarella to launch an exclusive French-Italian blend named Four Hands.
“To have the opportunity to develop a unique wine alongside legendary winemaker Michel Rolland and to work alongside Riccardo Cotarella, Antonio Galloni and fellow chefs Yannick Alléno and Carlo Cracco is for me a dream come true,” said Keller.

“Domus Artium Reserve brings together the best of the best and it’s inspiring to be part of this collaborative partnership as a founder. I look forward to being able to lead in curating unique and immersive experiences for our members.”
Chef Cracco added: “It’s an honor to host the launch of the prestigious project Domus Artium Reserve at my restaurant Cracco in Milano. I would have never imagined I could work alongside my colleagues Thomas Keller and Yannick Alléno in the same project not to mention legendary winemakers and experts like Michel Rolland, Riccardo Cotarella and Antonio Galloni.”
