The Room
Sofas, boiserie and low light. Built to be stayed in, not passed through.
Portofino Dry Gin Yacht Club
Docked in Milan
Our first club. Inside The Doping, at Aethos Milan. Members only, every evening from 6.30 pm.
The Club
A room, not a counter.
For years we told the story of the Ligurian Riviera through a bottle. Now there is a room.
The club takes its cue from the Riviera yacht clubs of the fifties and sixties: refined, never ostentatious, where elegance and welcome sat easily together. Boiserie, nautical charts, deep seats, low light.
In the middle of Milan, a harbour to come into at the end of the day.
“Not a bar, but a place that tells our way of living and celebrates the tradition of Italian yachting.”Chris Egger, Co-Founder & CMO
What You'll Find
Everything the room holds
The List
Signature serves by the team at The Doping, built on the Portofino range.
The Kitchen
A food selection by Luca Nania, head chef at Aethos Milan, paired serve by serve.
The List
Riviera, by the glass.
A cocktail list written for this room alone, built on Portofino Dry Gin, La Penisola and Portofino Botanical Spirit: Light Edition — and drawn from the coast they come from.
Each serve comes with its own pairing from the kitchen.
The Sailing Team
Every club has a crew.
This one is ours.
Bartenders, journalists, creatives, partners and regulars, brought together by the sea, the Riviera, and drinking well.
Join the waiting list and we'll bring you aboard — a new crew boards every Monday. The word of the season and your booking link arrive by email.
One email a month. Nothing else, ever.
