Living it up in L’Escargot

Wednesday 4th September  l 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
L’Escargot l 48 Greek Street | London | W1D 4EF

And so to L’Escargot, following in the footsteps of an eclectic group of previous patrons including Princess Diana, Coco Chanel and the Kray twins, and up to the vibrant Snail Bar. The secret location on the top floor of L’Escargot’s glorious Georgian townhouse provides a bright and airy atmosphere with its stunning skylight ceilings.

With 60 guests making themselves perfectly at home last Wednesday night for our first Rendezvous party of the Autumn season, the packed room meant you couldn’t help but turn one way to say hello to one group of fun-loving guests or turn another and be switched into another lively conversation with a completely different group. 

Pink Diesel rosé proved to be the perfect welcome glass, blended with pure love to #FUELGOODTIMES. Pale in colour, with notes of honey, peach, and citrus, it’s delightful blend of 35% Syrah, 35% Grenache, and 30% Cinsault grape varieties and a great accompaniment to the cheese straws, cocktail sausages, truffle nuts, and delicious croque-monsieur’s we nibbled on.

Thank you to team L’Escargot for truly stunning service.  Head barman Stan hats off to you for utterly unflustered and superb bar service. Team Rendezvous (Lou, Isabella, and I) had the best time, and we hope you did too! 

Many thanks to Pink Diesel for fuelling the occasion.

Rendezvous with Lucy Wong

Wednesday 24th July 
Lucy Wong | 33-34 Rathbone Place | London | W1T 1JN

The World of Lucy Wong

Lucy Wong is renowned for her exclusive parties thrown for friends and socialites at her glamourous London residence. And did we have some love and romance on Wednesday night – I am delighted to say we did!  This was the Moon and Stars party and their alignment with the amazing cocktails was a perfect combination.

Rendezvous is about meeting new friends – not just potential partners – and we like to make connections that will last, and in turn let those intros help you meet your next partner. Two of our guests really hit it off and spent until midnight in a restaurant in Mayfair chatting, laughing, drinking, bonding and planning their next dates.

Nestled near fashionable Charlotte Street, Lucy Wong is a stylish Asian-inspired space adorned with Eastern art that attracts a beautiful crowd. Thank you to Kat, Julia, George, Edite, and Rosie, who kept the drinks and nibbles flowing. Everyone tucked into the super-moreish rice chilli crackers, vegetarian spring rolls with signature chilli sauce, and delightful duck, spring onion, and hoisin puffs. Soon the guests were working their way down the cocktail list from the Crouching Tiger to the Yangtze Margarita.

As the evening progressed, the room was full of new friendships, lively conversations, and romantic moments sparked. Rendezvous hosts the best and friendliest parties and this new Asian fusion venue was the ideal setting for cocktails, conversations, and new connections.

About Our Sold-Out Drink Pink Party

Tuesday 21st May
28:50 Oxford Circus | Market Place | 4 Great Portland St | W1W 8QJ

What better way to shelter from a freak flash flood than in the excitement of our Drink Pink party. Everyone had a story to tell of their determined navigation to 28:50 Wine Workshop, our venue for the night, and were soon calmed by knowing that just sixty guests got the lucky tickets to our very sold-out and exclusive wine-tasting party.

Why Drink Pink? I hear you ask – well, we were going to drink pink of course, but also we loved the lyrics from Audrey Hepburn’s movie Funny Face, and Think Pink sprang to mind. With its glamorous star and its light-hearted tone we felt it fitted perfectly with a spring rosé party.

We chose rosé tasting for May because,  for many wine lovers, nothing evokes the feeling of sunny spring days like a crisp rosé. Whether you’re enjoying a glass in the garden or sharing a carafe at an alfresco dinner with friends, a good rosé is summer in a bottle.

So after we settled into the excited chatter of the room, helped along by a chilled glass of delicious Villa Folini Prosecco for starters, and with the backdrop and warmth of our gorgeous room, we handed it over to the experts to let the proceedings begin.

Thank you, Mike Guthrie – 28:50’s Head Sommelier extraordinaire, for presiding over our Rendezvous Rosé blind taste-off.  We thoroughly enjoyed the England vs France theme exploring two captivating rosés.  And two distinctly different flavours with only their light pink colour in common!

We blind-tasted Folc Rose, a lively dry English gem of a rosé, sourced from family-run vineyards in Sussex and Kent and crafted from a blend of pinot noir, pinot meunier, chardonnay, bacchus, reichensteiner, schönburger, and dornfelder grapes.

Next in the blind-tasting was ….ah the familiar taste of Provence in AIX Rosé with its elegant salmon pink shade, enticing us with delicate aromas of fresh red fruits, peach, and subtle floral hints, culminating in a long and precise finish with a touch of minerality.

Now, we’re sure you’re wondering how the blind tasting ended and how the vote went.  I would like to say England came out as a new-to-the-Rosé challenge winner, but no, France still triumphed with the majority vote from you fine wine connoisseurs.

We extend our gratitude to Nikola Koppova, Marketing Director par excellence. She and her team, including the aforementioned superstar Mike who was fearlessly supported by Alex and Cam, are dedicated to crafting an exceptional experience and certainly did so that night. Until our next party, let us raise our glasses and celebrate the enchanting world of rosé, where each sip transports us to moments of pure bliss. 

Some lovely feedback –

From the newcomers –

“Hi Barbara, I just wanted to let you know how much fun I had last night. Can’t wait for July!! “

“Thank you for a fun evening. When will you be holding one of these again?”

“Just want to thank you for organizing yesterday’s party. X and I both agreed that we had a great time; we really enjoyed the evening, meeting some interesting people and exchanging contact details. Looking forward to seeing you again at future events.”

And people who have been before –

“Thank you so much for another great fun event. Nice wine and nibbles and some great conversations. Looking forward to the Moon & Stars party on 24th July! “

“Lovely party! Was great to be back! “

Drink Pink Party; Wine Tasting Party

28-50 Oxford Circus | Market Place | 4 Great Portland St. | W1W 8QJ 
Tuesday 21st May  | 6.30 pm – 8.30 pm

We know you love the idea of a wine-tasting party. The song Think Pink from Audrey Hepburn’s movie – Funny Face sets the spring scene for our 2024 event. How cute are these lyrics!
 

“Play in pink, all day in pink,
Pretty gayin pink.
Drive in pink, come alive in pink,
Have a dive in pink.
Go out dancing but just remember one thing:
You can get a little wink
If you got a little pink
In your swing.”


What could be more sensational than a spring rosé tasting party to celebrate our favourite pink drink?

There are dry rosés and sweet rosés, pale rosés and dark rosés, party rosés and fine dining rosés. Rosés can be delicate, fresh, fruity, and generous. Whatever they are, that gorgeous pink colour signals positivity and something fun about to happen!

So, whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or a curious novice, come and join us for an evening of indulgence and delight.  This is a corking event not to be missed!
