Six iterations. One extraordinary evening.
Earlier this month we welcomed to Alinea for our Alinea Group Wine Dinner Series, celebrating the launch of Grand Siècle No. 27.
Hosted by Michelle DeFeo, President of Laurent-Perrier US, and special guest Maximilien de Nonancourt it was an evening exploring one of Champagne’s most revered houses.

Over the past several months, we've had the pleasure of pouring Champagne Laurent-Perrier’s newest innovation, Héritage.
Crafted entirely from reserve wines, Héritage is a bold first for any Champagne House and a fitting pairing for a celebration two decades in the making. From Chicago to Brooklyn, Miami, and soon in Beverly Hills, Laurent-Perrier has helped us mark our 20th anniversary milestone with elegance and intention.
We’re grateful to the Laurent-Perrier team for entrusting us with their U.S. Héritage debut and for raising a glass with us along the way. Cheers to you! 🥂

The Dessert Room, the final stop in our Alinea X Olmsted progression
To reach the last course of the menu, guests were ushered across the street to an entirely new location. There, they were served our iconic dessert mat—reimagined with a Brooklyn twist—alongside a Milk Punch cocktail featuring Harmony III and Mocha Chai.
The final touch? The balloon.

20 years ago, Chef Grant Achatz and the team at Alinea set out with a singular focus: to build one of the world’s best restaurants.
As we reflect, we think of our team—the opportunities, growth and gratitude to work together. Our partners—the farmers, purveyors, wine makers who provided us the finest ingredients to carry out our mission. Our industry friends and alumni—both a source of inspiration and those we are honored to inspire. And of course, our guests—the thousands who have trusted us to celebrate their most special moments.
This milestone is not just a time for reflection, but an opportunity to celebrate.
How do we celebrate 20 years? We take Alinea on tour.
For the first leg of our tour, we’ll be visiting 3 extraordinary cities in partnership with 3 exceptional hosts. Each holding a special place in our story. Please join us on this once-in-a-lifetime culinary journey.
Now booking Alinea Brooklyn.
A special thank you to our partners for making this possible:
