The Midland Manchester welcomes the Champagne Pommery Experience to its rooms on 8th December, a carefully curated afternoon that merges the house’s refined hospitality with one of Champagne’s most celebrated producers. Following considerable demand from previous tastings, this festive edition draws together three guided champagne tastings, mulled wine and the hotel’s festive afternoon tea menu, each element designed to unfold across the afternoon with measured elegance.
The setting speaks to The Midland’s particular grace. Pale stone walls and gold trim frame tall windows dressed in heavyweight drapery, while tiered displays carry seasonal decorations and champagne flutes rest beside bone china plates. A white tablecloth gathers the arrangement: fresh flowers, candied fruits, and the quiet geometry of silverware and linen napkins. Natural light pours across the table, catching the pale gold of champagne and the gentle detail of each course.
Two sittings keep the experience intimate, with bookings already moving quickly. The afternoon promises the kind of unhurried pacing that allows genuine conversation around each tasting, each sip approached with the attention it deserves. For those in Manchester drawn to the marriage of festive celebration and champagne knowledge, this feels less like an event and more like a considered invitation into a particularly civilised December afternoon.
Tickets may be reserved through The Midland Manchester’s website. The hotel sits on Bridge Street in the city’s centre.
