About — Chapter I
A Legacy of La Dolce Vita
Who we are
"Every name in our range points to the same hour on the Italian Riviera: low gold light on the water, yachts at anchor, and a glass catching the last of the sun before dinner."
Chapter I — Why we make it
Made for the aperitivo hour.
We are The Yacht Club Classics, a small house making Negroni, Dry Martini, Riviera Dry Gin and Porto Nobile Vodka. We started in 2019 because we wanted the drinks we loved on the Riviera to taste the
That pause before dinner, the one the Italians never rush, is what we bottle. It is the spirit of La Dolce Vita
"Ice in the glass, the light going amber, and a drink you can trust."
Chapter II — Our approach
Small batches, poured the same every time.
The range
Four bottles, one evening.
I
The Yacht Club Negroni
Named for the drink that opens the evening on every harbour terrace. Pour it over a large cube with a twist of orange and it is ready, which makes it an easy first line on an aperitivo menu.
II
Riva Dolce Dry Martini
The name recalls polished wood boats gliding out at dusk. Keep it in the freezer and serve it straight into a chilled glass for a clean, consistent Martini at speed.
III
Riviera Dry Gin
A gin for long afternoons by the water, with juniper at its centre and coastal herbs around it. It works in a highball with tonic and gives your own cocktails a dependable base.
IV
Porto Nobile Vodka
Named after the quiet harbours of the coast. Made from Italian grain and alpine spring water, it is soft enough to sip ice-cold and neutral enough to sit behind any cocktail.
