This February, QT Wellington's Gallery Lounge is welcoming Perrier-Jouët for Flora & Fizz. An experience unique to QT, Flora & Fizz invites Wellingtonians into an enchanted world adorned with flora, fauna and bespoke décor mirroring Perrier-Jouët's iconic bottle, with exclusive Perrier-Jouët pours.
In a celebration overflowing with savoir-faire and art de vivre, the design-led hotel's art-filled bar will be transformed from February 10 to May 5. Those fond of fizz will be able to order a tableside Champagne tasting flight served on a Perrier-Jouët enchanted tree.
Two tasting experiences will be on offer:
- 'Enchanted Discoveries' experience offers five pours in full flight, including Perrier-Jouët's very special Belle Époque and Belle Époque Rosé for $105 per person
- 'Taste of Nature' experience, comprising three Champagnes from Perrier-Jouët's Blason collection: a refined trio of Blanc de Blancs, Brut and Rosé for $39 per person
The fizz-filled festivities continue upstairs at Hippopotamus restaurant, with a special Champagne High Tea pouring on Saturdays and Sundays, throughout the Flora & Fizz period. Taking inspiration from Perrier-Jouët pops, QT Wellington's pastry team has crafted three tiers of teatime delights including raspberry and Champagne macarons, Chaource cheese puffs, and hazelnut dacquoise with salted caramel ganache. Alongside the Champagne High Tea, guests can opt to add on a Flora & Fizz 'Taste of Nature' or 'Enchanted Discoveries' Champagne tasting.
Over the thirteen weeks, Gallery Lounge will be offering specials on the full range of Perrier-Jouët Champagnes by the glass, bottle, and magnums.
Desiree Saavedra, Hotel Manager at QT Wellington says, “I'm absolutely fizzing to see this partnership come to life! We love our friends at Perrier-Jouët, so combining premium Champagne tastings with our best-selling high teas is our way to celebrate both brands and provide an incredible experience for our guests”.
Frolic in the land of fizz with Flora & Fizz at Gallery Lounge and Hippopotamus between February 10 and May 5, where over-indulgence is the ordinary and there's not a dry flight in sight. For more information visit qthotels.com
