Bring me Champagne when I’m thirsty! Champagne Gala Dinner!

Friday 27. February at 18:00 - 22:00

SMØR Modern Bistro, Rīga

🥂 Annual Champagne Gala Dinner

The annual Champagne Gala Dinner – with Chefs de Cave, winemakers and growers, great-house delegations who’ve made it to Riga, and us – the Champagne drinkers who know why we’re here.


📍 Where are we meeting?

SMØR!
With proper pomp, we announce that this special dinner will take place at the new bistro SMØR.

What will make the night even more special: one of the hosts will be Gilles de la Bassetiere, President of Champagne house De Venoge – a returning festival guest, now back in Riga to celebrate the collaboration with SMØR.

Storytellers & masters of ceremony

Aigars Nords and Peter Liem.


🍽 What will we be eating?

Together with chef Kaspars Barsukovs, we’ve built a proper feast:

  • Oysters
  • Three different tartares
  • The famous cod wings
  • Smoked bone marrow
  • Turbot & duck
  • Salads, Brussels sprouts, and an unforgettable dessert

🍾 What Champagne will we be drinking?

During the official part of the evening, we’ll pour Champagnes from our festival guests – serious bottles, and the kind of standouts best introduced by the winemakers and house owners themselves.

And of course, at any moment you’re welcome to pop open the Champagnes you’ve brought along, too.
