Champagne dinner format
The Gala Dinner is presented as the culmination of La Fête du Champagne and centers on Champagne producers and winemakers. Its format is a multi-course dinner built to accompany Champagne, with special bottles provided by attending producers. Guests are also invited to bring bottles of Champagne from their own cellars to share throughout the room, making the bottle program part of the dinner format rather than a separate tasting component.
The evening begins with a reception featuring Chablis from Domaine William Fèvre before moving into the chef collaboration. That opening pour is the only named reception wine in the available details; the other specific bottles are described more generally as special bottles from attending producers.
