Forget the humdrum and prepare for a delightful descent into deliciousness because The Lanesborough, that bastion of British elegance, has just popped its cork in the most spectacular way! Imagine the grand Great Hall, usually whispering secrets of sophistication, now positively giggling with the arrival of an exclusive, utterly dazzling pop-up Champagne bar. And not just any old fizz, mind you. We’re talking about the legendary Ruinart, the bubbly that’s been making tastebuds sing since way back in 1729 – swoon!
From the 8th of May onwards, prepare to swan into this shimmering sanctuary and treat yourself to a curated collection of Ruinart’s most delightful creations. Whether you’re celebrating finally finding matching socks or simply fancy turning an ordinary afternoon into a dazzling affair, this is the spot. Think chic vibes, a sprinkle of stardust and the gentle pop of a cork promising pure liquid joy.
Now, let’s talk about the stars of this bubbly bash! Imagine swirling a glass of the Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, a rare beauty born from late-harvested Chardonnay grapes – it’s like sunshine in a glass! Or perhaps the Dom Ruinart Rosé will tempt your tastebuds with its delicate blush and whispers of spice, citrus and flowers, followed by a playful tango of red fruits like pomegranate and redcurrant.
But wait there’s more! The Lanesborough isn’t just pouring exquisite fizz; they’re creating an experience. Picture yourself nestled amongst stylish décor and lush greenery, the perfect backdrop for catching up with your favourite people and sharing secrets over clinking glasses. And because they know a good bubbly deserves equally delightful nibble, they’re dreamt up some seriously tempting gourmet small plates. Word on the street is there’s even a rather decadent affair involving two glasses of Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs and a spoonful (or two!) of Oscietra caviar.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. The Lanesborough is throwing a whole summer-long party!
