ArsNova International Culinary Prize: Charity Gala Dinnner 2025

The exclusive Gala Dinner celebrating the UK Winner of the ArsNova International Culinary Prize (formerly Le Taittinger Prix Culinaire) will take place on Tuesday 14 January 2025 at the Hotel Café Royal, 10 Air Street, London, W1B 5AB.

The evening will commence with a Champagne Reception with Canapés, followed by a four course dinner with an extraordinary Champagne flight of Sommelier-selected Champagnes to complement the sumptuous menu.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a selection of the Taittinger range, including the multi-award winning prestige cuvée Comtes de Champagne. The enigmatic Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, Honorary Chairman of the eponymous house, will be in attendance.

Champagne on the menu:

• Taittinger Brut Réserve NV en Magnum
• Taittinger Prestige Rosé NV
• Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs
• Domaine Carneros Avant Garde Pinot Noir
• Taittinger Nocturne Sec NV

According to Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger: “Having our family name on a bottle places demands and responsibilities on every minute. The name on the bottle conveys both the skills and knowledge of the past and a commitment to the future”… and he has embodied this commitment for 40 years.

Esteemed guests at the dinner will include Michel Roux (UK Jury Chair and Former Chef Patron at Le Gavroche), Paul Burgalieres (Group Executive Chef- North West, L’Enclume and Simon Rogan Group & UK Winner), members of the Taittinger family, IoH Fellows, Members and Guests.
