Sold Out - Cabaret & Cabernet - A Wine Pairing Soirée

Dining Experience - Loscar Restaurant

Cabaret & Cabernet is an immersive experience taking place on the first Friday of every month. An evening where dinner and a show takes on a whole new meaning. Hosted within our private Committee Room and limited to just 25 guests, this evening is designed for those seeking the extraordinary.

You will embark on a multi-sensory journey where Chateau La Mascaronne wines are paired with bespoke cabaret performances inspired by their character. As each glass is served, the dining table becomes the stage and the wine brought to life before your very eyes. Our sommelier and host will guide you through each bite, pour, and performance as cabaret, cabernet, and cuisine intertwine.

THE SHOW
In a concept never before seen in London, each performance is carefully paired with its corresponding wine. As every course is served, performers take to the very table upon which you dine, delivering intimate, breathtaking cabaret so close that no gesture goes unnoticed. From the music to the choreography, every detail reflects the unique character of its wine. As our performers move across the table, the tasting notes of the wine unfold across your palate, creating dialogue between performance and pour.

THE WINE
The evening begins with Champagne and amuse bouche. From there, we invite you to take to your seats and marvel as the show unfolds across the table. Our sommelier has selected wines celebrated for their depth, elegance, and longevity. Shaped by their unique soils and geographical heritage, each vintage is bold yet composed. Our sommelier will guide you through each wine with insight and narrative.

THE MENU
Executive Chef Arturas has crafted a sophisticated menu for the evening, hosted in the charming Committee Room. Each dish has been developed to enhance the character of its paired wine, balancing texture, depth and flavour so that your plate captivates just as much as the show above.
