Charles Heidsieck Champagne Tasting Dinner

The Artichoke Restaurant is holding an elegant celebration of spring with an exclusive Charles Heidsieck Champagne Tasting Dinner, hosted in collaboration with Liberty Wines on Wednesday 13th May 2026.

The evening begins at this highly regarded Michelin-starred restaurant with a Champagne reception and seasonal snacks, followed by a bespoke five‑course tasting menu created by Chef Patron Laurie, Head Chef Chris, and their team. Each course is paired with a distinguished selection of Charles Heidsieck Champagnes and a rare red wine, with several wines served by magnum.
