Jeeves de Veyra </span></span></span></div><p>TAGAYTAY -- Twin Lakes Hotel is finally reaping what it has sown back in 2017 when Global Estates Resorts, the hospitality subsidiary of Megaworld Corporation, broke ground for the hotel and vineyard. </p><p>It took two years to fully plant the Catawba, Red Cardinal and Brazilian Hybrid varieties of grapes on the stepped vineyards.</p><p>“Grapes need about seven hours of sunlight to produce flowers and fruits. In Twin Lakes, we have about 9-12 hours of sunlight on the average. Sunlight is important because of photosynthesis and sugar production. They need our summer season for development of berries.,” explained Christian Evangelista, Twin Lakes consultant for the vineyard.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175045866886020250620100628_GRAPE 2.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Twin Lakes Hotel opened its grape-picking activity to the public this year.

Jeeves de Veyra </span></span></span></div><p>He also clarified that the grapes aren’t for winemaking, but rather for eating, commonly seen in charcuterie and cheese platters.</p><p>While they had a small grape-picking activity last year for the condominium owners in the township, they have opened this up to the public by giving access to a part of the vineyard that has been bearing fruit this year. The vines were not planted at the same time so only a part of the vineyard had grapes that could be picked. Guests were given shears and baskets to go around collecting grapes which they could bring back home.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175045869177820250620100632_GRAPE 3.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The new Wine Gallery.

It has a rustic Tuscan feel with a great view of the vineyards, making it an ideal venue for more intimate wedding receptions.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175045877478120250620100632_GRAPE 4.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The Glass House.

Jeeves de Veyra </span></span></span></div><p>Up on the lobby floor is another new venue, the Glass House, which sits where the al fresco dining area of the café used to be. Due to unpredictable wind and fog conditions on this part of the ridge, Twin Lakes built a structure that doubles as a reception venue, and extended seating for the café.</p><p>Twin Lakes Café has one of the best value for money breakfast buffets in the area with the ambiance and the chef’s takes on Filipino food and Tagaytay specialties like bulalo.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175045879540120250620100632_GRAPE 5.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Twin Lakes Café.

The ballroom, that is used for bigger wedding receptions, can be used for conferences and business functions.</div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175045883444220250620100632_GRAPE 6.JPG" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The Meeting Room Floor Lobby. Jeeves de Veyra"/><span class="fr-inner">The Meeting Room Floor Lobby. Jeeves de Veyra </span></span></span></div><p>There are also rooms for smaller meetings named after grape varietals. This section with the meeting rooms has a mini kitchen for cooking demos or a holding area that can serve coffee, wine, or snacks.</p><p>As an added incentive for event organizers, the hotel extends a 50% discount on room rates for participants and guests to stay the night and safely delay the drive back to Manila for the following day.</p><p>Guestrooms are spacious and comfortable and come with a bathtub. The water pressure is pleasantly strong so filling up the bathtub took no time at all, so bring bath bombs and bottles of bubble bath to really enjoy your stay.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175045886332120250620100632_GRAPE 7.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Twin Lakes guestroom. Jeeves de Veyra"/><span class="fr-inner">Twin Lakes guestroom. Jeeves de Veyra </span></span></span></div><p>For those looking for a Netflix and Chill staycation, it can take a bit of work and an HDMI cable as the rooms are not smart TV-equipped. The in-room coffee options are also pretty basic for a higher end hotel.</p><p>All Twin Lakes’s rooms have a veranda with a view of the surrounding mountains or the lake. Little touches that support the sustainability push of the hotel group like automatically turning off the air conditioners when the door is open, as well as using refillable glass bottles with multiple water dispensers located around the wings are much appreciated.</p><p>Speaking of amenities, D’ Uva Spa occupies two floors and has group and couple treatment rooms. The best are the ones overlooking the pool and the vineyard with their grapeseed oil treatment.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175045888935920250620100632_GRAPE 8.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Adult Game Room.

Jeeves de Veyra </span></span></span></div><p>On the same floor are a gym that overlooks the vineyard, a children’s playroom, and an adult game room with a billiards table, a foosball table and board games.</p><p>For a mountain resort, the heated pool is a godsend. Sitting in the warm water on a cool evening with the fog rolling in is an experience especially when it gets cold and foggy. The pool is also open until 10 p.m. which makes it a nice place to chill out at nights, especially in the seating area with jacuzzi jets.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175045891956120250620100632_GRAPE 9.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The hotel&#x27;s swimming pool.
