The move is part of a push to reposition Avenuel as an experience-driven membership centered on travel, dining and culture.<\/p>\n<p>Members will be treated to a private multi-course dinner by Chef Jeong Ho-young highlighting Ulleungdo\u2019s seasonal ingredients, a curated breakfast, and wine pairings from Lotte Department Store sommelier Han Hee-soo. The itinerary also includes a scenic coastal drive in a BMW 7 Series and guided tours of the island\u2019s top sights.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Lotte revamped the points-focused Avenuel system into \u201cAvenuel Curation,\u201d shifting toward content-led VIP services. The program now offers high-end lifestyle experiences across six categories\u2014from luxury hotels and fine dining to golf and leisure\u2014through roughly 100 partner venues.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, a gala dinner by three-Michelin-star chef Yannick All\u00e9no, produced in collaboration with Signiel, sold out almost immediately. A private wedding showcase at The Hanok Heritage, a high-end hanok hotel in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, also filled up early despite packages priced around 1,000,000 KRW (about $750) for double occupancy.<\/p>\n<p>Park Sang-woo, head of marketing at Lotte Department Store, said, \u201cWe will set a new standard for premium lifestyle experiences by leveraging our curation capabilities across travel, food and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lotte Department Store enhances its VIP program with luxury travel experiences in Ulleungdo, featuring fine dining
