MANILA, Philippines - Megaworld unit Global-Estate Resorts Inc. (GERI), the leading developer of tourism estate in the Philippines, has created an exclusive, low density residential condominium cluster impelled by the rustic allure of Tagaytay’s rolling terrains and the quaint ambience of countryside Europe – The Vineyard Residences.
The Vineyard Residences is a vast 2.62-hectare residential cluster located in the 1,200-hectare integrated tourism estate Twin Lakes. It features three mid-rise condominium towers named after the finest grape varieties – Merlot, Chardonnay and Shiraz.
The Merlot has eight storys featuring a total of 81 condominium units; the Chardonnay has seven storys having a total of 70 units; and the Shiraz with six storys. All three buildings offer one-bedroom units ranging from 27 square meters to 102.2 sqm offering studio type to two bedrooms.
The units at the second floor will have a pocket garden, and units at the third floor will have a skylight, while the rest will have a balcony for private view of Taal Volcano and Taal Lake.
Unit owners will also be given the distinct privilege to be in the midst of the very first vineyard resort community—The Vineyard. With over 69 hectares of land, The Vineyard will have a stunning 10-hectare landscape of tidy rows of real grapes that banter unpredictably with the changing seasons, a setting that mirrors the world-renowned vineyards in Tuscany and Napa Valley.
Producing its own vineyard products of the finest vintage, the real vineyard will be overseen by Filipino farmer-scientist Avelino Lomboy while Spanish consultants will be on top of making brandies and wines.
The products of the vineyard will then be stored and showcased in a traditional wine chateau. The French-inspired wine manor named Chateau Twin Lakes will be located next to Twin Lake’s beautiful man-made lake.
While close to the natural treasures of Tagaytay, residents will still get access to modern day conveniences. Embodying the township blueprint of Megaworld, Twin Lakes is a complete integrated tourism community of expansive nature spaces linked by residential villas, condominiums, townhouses, hotel and resort, commercial and retail hubs, and leisure facilities. Residents, who get to be in the middle of all the action, have the first access to the township’s unique offerings.
Currently, the Shopping Village, located at the entrance of Twin Lakes, has opened its doors to signal the beginning of the township’s developments. Open to visitors, it houses stopover joints like Bag of Beans and what is dubbed as the “most beautiful” Starbucks store in the country.
Apart from The Vineyard Residences, Twin Lakes also features four residential villages namely Domaine Le Jardin, Domaine Le Montagne, Domaine Le Soleil, and Domaine Du Lac.
