How to choose the right La Fête format

The strongest reason to book La Fête is the depth inside individual events. Several dinners explore one producer across older vintages, while masterclasses focus on Bouzy, Cumières and oak aging. If you want access to the makers, choose the formats where the named producers present the wines in person.

Champagne gives those conversations plenty of material. A non-vintage cuvée may blend several harvests; a single-vineyard wine focuses on one site. Bottle size, closures and time on lees can also affect how a wine develops. The program turns those subjects into tastings, so you can compare the wines while producers explain them.

A producer dinner is for depth: one estate, one theme, several flights and a kitchen building around the wines. A masterclass is more technical, often one hour, with a presenter and a defined question. A walkaround tasting lets you set your own sequence. The gala is the social cellar event, with provided Champagne and guests invited to bring bottles to share.

Wednesday, October 14: Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Dinner

The opening dinner at Aquavit centers on Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill in magnum, with vintages reaching back to 1995. Bastien Collard de Billy will present the wines alongside a tasting menu from Chef Emma Bengtsson. Book this if mature Pol Roger in large format is your priority.

The four Edition Vinothèque wines are original disgorgements stored in the family’s private cellar, 33 meters underground. The 1998, 1999, 2002 and 2004 releases give guests a chance to taste producer-held wines alongside the other announced vintages, all in magnum.

At DANIEL, Alexandre Chartogne and Rodolphe Péters join chefs Daniel Boulud and Arnaud Lallement of the three-Michelin-starred l’Assiette Champenoise in Reims.

Both estates are based in Polisot in the Côte des Bar, where Kimmeridgian limestone and Pinot Noir often play a central role.

Pierre Paillard: Rare Cellar Releases from Bouzy

4:30 to 5:30pm ET · Nine Orchard West Room, 9 Orchard St
Individual ticket: $125 + tax. Event details and tickets.

Antoine and Quentin Paillard present this sold-out Nine Orchard masterclass, moderated by Peter Liem. The subject is Bouzy, a Grand Cru village long associated with Pinot Noir, though the lineup includes both Blanc de Noirs and Blanc de Blancs.

La Goutte d’Or 2016 and the 2008 bottling from the family’s historic walled vineyard are the two exclusive cellar releases. Each comes from a single barrel and was made in a run of only a few hundred bottles, so the waitlist is most useful for guests who want a tightly focused Bouzy comparison.

Wine list

  • Bouzy Grand Cru “La Goutte d’Or” Blanc de Blancs 2016

New York Gala Dinner

6:30pm ET · Pier Sixty, 60 Chelsea Piers
Individual ticket: $1,350 + tax. Event details and tickets.

The Gala Dinner closes the program at 6:30pm. Daniel Boulud, Arnaud Lallement, Fredrik Berselius and Helen Nguyen will collaborate on the menu. Chablis from Domaine William Fèvre will be served at reception, followed by Champagne from attending producers. Book this for the social close: guests are invited to bring their own Champagne to share, and that BYOB element applies to the gala, not to every dinner in the program.

Wine list

  • Domaine William Fèvre Chablis at the reception; specific wines to be announced.
  • Champagnes provided by attending producers; the organizer’s selection is to be announced.
  • Champagne from guests’ own cellars, brought to share throughout the room. The BYOB selection depends on the guests.

Booking advice for La Fête du Champagne NYC

For mature Champagne, consider the Pol Roger dinner and its magnums reaching back to 1995. For a single-vineyard comparison across years, the Billecart-Salmon dinner offers nine vintages of Clos Saint-Hilaire, though it is currently sold out with a waitlist.

The Chartogne-Taillet and Pierre Péters dinner suits guests interested in vineyard and cellar decisions. Its flights cover soils, closures, bottle formats, time on lees and blending. Check the American Express eligibility terms before booking.

If you want a lighter Friday evening, combine the Paillard waitlist possibility with the Apéro only if availability allows. The Paillard masterclass runs from 4:30pm to 5:30pm at 9 Orchard, and the Apéro follows in the same building from 5:30pm to 8:00pm.

If you are building a Saturday around Pier Sixty, choose one of three approaches. For focused learning, attend Drappier, Soil to Sip, or both if eligible and available. For range, prioritize the Grand Tasting. For the social close to the weekend, the Gala Dinner is built around chefs, attending producers and shared bottles from guests’ own cellars.

Ticket prices range from $125 plus tax for masterclasses to $2,250 plus tax for the Billecart-Salmon Clos Saint-Hilaire Dinner. The Grand Tasting is listed at $475 plus tax, and the Gala Dinner at $1,350 plus tax.

Wine lists, vintages and ticket availability can change. Use the event pages in the schedule to confirm current availability, cardholder restrictions and terms before purchasing.

See the official program and current ticket availability.

Build the weekend around the wines you most want to understand, then leave time to meet the people behind them. A focused dinner, a broad afternoon tasting and a bottle shared at the gala offer different pleasures, and together make a convincing reason to spend October in New York.
