Yelloweek: A Soirée With Veuve Clicquot

Brace yourselves champagne lovers: Veuve Clicquot just launched Yelloweek in Toronto. What is this magical week you ask? It’s a time to enjoy the best in gastronomy, arts and fashion with a glass or two of world-class champagne in hand. Created as a tribute to artists and artisans who push themselves creatively every day, Yelloweek (which runs from May 5-11th) is your chance to experience the true essence of Veuve Clicquot. Here are the exciting events taking place across the city:

I had the pleasure of attending Yellow Riviera (the exclusive launch event) at La Société last night. The upscale bistro was the perfect venue to indulge in some of the finer things in life. As we relaxed on hammocks, we were served Veuve Clicquot along with some food pairings (oysters, tuna tartare and macarons). I was basically in heaven…

OK, so not only does Veuve Clicquot produce some of the finest bubbly around (and has been doing so for more than 200 years), but they also happen to have a distinctive label that I’m absolutely in love with. I’m a huge sucker for bright colours so I felt like a kid in a candy store at the event at La Société – they had yellow everything! From hats and sunglasses to bikes and balloons…

Le sigh, the night was filled with great food, conversation and plenty of Veuve Clicquot. Greta Constantine also showcased their resort capsule collection (which will be on display at House of Moments on May 8th)…

I hope you get a chance to treat yourself to a glass or two of champagne at one of events this week. Oh, and good news for those living in Alberta and BC: Yelloweek will travel to Calgary and Edmonton (May 19-21) and Vancouver (May 22-24). Á votre santé!
