Dîner en Blanc Buenos Aires 2018: A Magical Evening

Rutini Wines exclusive winery 2018 Edition

Next Saturday, November 17th will be held the second edition of Dîner en Blanc – Buenos Aires. This celebration has an international tradition of 30 years.
In 1988, after spending a few years abroad, François Pasquier returned to Paris and decided to organize a dinner to meet up with friends.
In the spirit of sharing and celebrating, he invited them to the Bois de Boulogne and asked them to wear white and to invite one friend each.
The following year they wanted to repeat the event and the invitations multiplied.
Thus was born Dîner en Blanc.

The Bois de Boulonge was followed by the Pont des Arts, the Champs Elysées, the garden of the Palais Royal.
On its 25th anniversary, Le Dîner en Blanc de Paris gathered nearly 15,000 guests at the Louvre, in the Trocadero garden and in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Since then, this epicurean gathering has been gathering cities and expanding its scope and mystique.
Today it is an international event that takes place in 80 cities and more than 30 countries.
The wines and sparkling wines of Rutini Wines will accompany the second edition in Buenos Aires.

The location is a key point of Dîner en Blanc. and is kept secret until the last moment.
It is a picnic that can only be attended by those who have been directly invited by one of its members or, in a second instance, by those who sign up on a waiting list.
The rules are few but clear: participants must wear white and prepare a picnic basket with gourmet dishes and tableware.
Everything must be rigorously white.
Then they must go to a predefined place from where they will be guided to their destination.
What that destination is is an enigma that is revealed only when they get there.
But it can be anticipated that it will be one of the most beautiful and emblematic places in the city.

The first edition in Buenos Aires had 900 participants who spent a memorable evening at Oceana Puerto Madero.
It remains to be seen which exclusive corner of Buenos Aires will host the more than 1200 diners in 2018. Maia Naon, Jimena Suarez y Nicolas Francisquelo will be the local hosts of the event.
Chef Martín Molteni will be in charge of the gastronomic proposal. Rutini Extra Brut, Rutini Brut Nature, Rutini Sauvignon Blanc, Trumpeter Reserve Rosé, and Trumpeter Reserve Chardonnay are the labels they recommend for a night that will be unique.The Platinum Card from American Express and Nespresso are the sponsors of the event along with Rutini Wines.
