On a more bubbly note…

With the holiday season fast approaching, Marquis Wine Cellars is teaming up with Chambar (www.chambar.com) to bring you two unique Champagne dinners. Guests will enjoy a selection of eight different Champagnes (Rosé, Non-Vintage Brut, Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs and Vintage) that have been paired with a specially crafted menu from Chef, Nico Schuermans.

Our guests of honour will be Françoise and Paul Couvreur who run the export company, Champagne et Villages, which represents many of the small grower Champagnes in the Marquis portfolio, such as José Dhondt and Bruno Gobillard. Paul is a 5th generation Champenois with extensive experience and knowledge of the Champagne region, having worked for 23 years for two of the major Champagne Houses. He will be on hand to talk about each producer and their Champagnes.

Tickets for these events are $150.00 (all inclusive) and are available exclusively through Marquis Wine Cellars. They can be purchased by calling 604-684-0445. Please specify which night you would like to attend when booking your tickets as a separate ticket is required for each event.
