A curated selection of top-tier Champagnes from renowned producers!


We open top producers and travel from entry level bubbles, to NV Champagne, to Vintage, to Tete…We open one bottle of champagne/bubbles per paying guest. Engaging insight from Champagne Educational Ambassador Ian Blackburn. 


$149 NOW | $169 ON APRIL 17 | $200 at the door


Each ticket includes a cheese platter (1 per couple or 1/2 portion per solo guest - a $20 value)


NEWS:

We have added an “event + dinner reservation” - which secures our clients a 5:30PM table (very limited). This ticket does NOT include dinner but allows you to hold a table and order from the menu, or you can select the "$55 LearnAboutWine 3 course prefix menu!" Dinner is additional and paid to the restaurant the night of. We are hoping to help you as guests can be disappointed as this restaurant SELLS OUT and this helps Lunetta make you happy - one of Santa Monica’s go-to spots. Chef Raphael Lunetta has been friends with Ian for over 25 years and you will love him, too.


Wines are tasted 3 wines at a time. 21 Champagne when sold out at 21 people. Fewer people? Larger pours of fewer wines - we open one bottle per person.
