Join us for an elevated wine tasting experience featuring Maison Noël de France—luxurious, dealcoholized wines from iconic French regions that deliver all the sophistication without the buzz or headache. 100% Wine, 0% Alcohol.
Discover three exquisite French wines paired with heavy hors d'oeuvres at this exclusive reception. We'll be joined by François Latapie, an acclaimed hospitality expert with experience spanning Michelin-starred restaurants and Forbes five-star hotels across two continents, who will guide us through:
These aren't ordinary alcohol-free beverages—they're elegant wines crafted through a gentle, heat-free dealcoholization process that removes the alcohol while preserving the wine's natural acidity, aromatic layers, and authentic character. Each bottle captures the complexity and tradition of French winemaking, offering a velvety symphony of flavors that evolves with every sip.
Whether you're embracing Dry January or simply seeking refined alternatives, this tasting promises an unforgettable introduction to the future of sophisticated, alcohol-free entertaining.
This event is limited to 15 people and is available on a first come first served basis.
