BECKETT’S PRESENTS A GOURMAND’S TOUR OF CHAMPAGNE AND COGNAC
Pleasure without Champagne is purely artificial - Oscar Wilde
Thursday 24th February 2022, from 6:00pm.
Limited seats. One night. Ticketed event.
Beckett’s is kicking off 2022 with some fabulous French energy (after sadly, our Dinner Theatre Vignette No. 1 January performance was unable to go ahead). We’re inviting you to tour the Champagne and Cognac regions of France over five matched food courses designed by chef Jeff Schroeter.
You’ll explore seven different cuvées by Champagne Gosset - the oldest wine house in Champagne, established in 1584 by Pierre Gosset, Mayor of Äy. To close out the evening, we’ll visit the sleepy little town of Segonzac in the heart of the Cognac region. Here, the Frapin family’s Cognac is world-renowned - and you’ll savour two different expressions over exquisite cheese and dessert.
Tickets are $250 pp for Clubhouse members ($275 pp non-members). Tickets include Champagne and Cognac over five matched tasting courses. 6pm to 10pm, Thursday, 24th February 2022 in Beckett’s Private Wine Cellar.
