The St. Regis San Francisco and Veuve Clicquot Fundraiser Dinner

In honor of Women’s History Month and in the spirit of looking toward a better future, the Forbes Five-Star hotel The St. Regis San Francisco is hosting an exquisite Champagne pairing dinner experience in partnership with Veuve Clicquot that celebrates female empowerment and supports The Women’s Building, a women-led community space that advocates self-determination, gender equality, and social justice.

The inspiring event is an open-to-the-public fundraiser and will take place at The St. Regis San Francisco’s signature restaurant, Astra, on Friday, March 29, from 6:00 until 10:00 PM. Female executives will address guests between a wine-paired dinner featuring renowned Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2012 and additional Veuve Clicquot expressions. A portion of the evening’s ticket sales will support The Women’s Building.

The evening will commence with a signature St. Regis ritual sabrage, featuring Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label. Each of the four prix fixe courses will be paired with – and inspired by – four different Veuve Clicquot expressions.
