Grey Gardens Hosts Its First-Ever Champagne Winemaker’s Dinner with William Saintot
An intimate evening of exceptional Champagne, thoughtful pairings, and seasonal cuisine arrives at Grey Gardens on July 29.
TORONTO, ON — Some dinners are about the food. Others are about the wine. On July 29, Grey Gardens is bringing both together for a special evening that celebrates craftsmanship, conversation, and one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions.
For the first time, Grey Gardens will host a Champagne Winemaker’s Dinner, welcoming guests into its wine cellar for an intimate five-course dining experience featuring the wines of William Saintot, an acclaimed Champagne producer from France’s Vallée de la Marne.
Joining the evening will be Morgann Trebutien, a fifth-generation grower and winemaker whose family has spent generations cultivating vineyards in one of Champagne’s most respected regions. Guests will have the opportunity to taste a curated selection of William Saintot Champagnes while learning more about the philosophy, traditions, and techniques behind each bottle.
The evening’s menu will feature four savoury courses followed by a cheese course, with each dish thoughtfully paired to complement the character and complexity of the accompanying Champagne.
Priced at $260 per person (plus tax and gratuity), the experience includes five glasses of Champagne and offers guests a rare opportunity to explore the nuances of grower Champagne in an intimate setting.
With limited seating available, the dinner is designed to encourage connection—not only with the wines and food, but also with the stories behind them.
A Celebration of Place, Season, and Craft
The event arrives as Grey Gardens embraces the height of summer, with a menu that reflects the season’s abundance and the restaurant’s ingredient-focused approach.
Current highlights include:
- Carpaccio with Café de Paris, green peppercorn, and horseradish
- Black Cod with peas, Swiss chard, and lovage
- Half Chicken with pea leaves, white asparagus kimchi, and jus
Known for its ever-evolving menu and thoughtful wine program, Grey Gardens continues to champion dishes that let exceptional ingredients speak for themselves while creating memorable dining experiences that bring people together around the table.
