Workshops, tastings & evenings in Nyon
Grand Appétit isn't just a table: it's a community that comes together. Around a winemaker, a seasonal product or a workshop, we share more than a meal — we share the taste of the living, Place Bel-Air.
The agenda · the next dates
The next evening is in the works
Winemaker evenings, cellar tastings, gourmet workshops — the programme unfolds with the seasons. Sign up to be the first to know.
Les Soirées du Vivant
This is our signature evening. For one night, a winemaker joins us at the table. They tell us about their estate, their soil, their way of making wine — organic, biodynamic, natural. The chef builds a menu to match, dish by dish, glass by glass. Every tasting is guided: we explain, we taste, we talk. The cellar takes the floor, and leads the evening. The format stays deliberately close-knit, to keep a real exchange with that evening's winemaker.
In July, the soirée brought together Les Frères Dutruy around their wines. The next date is in the works — the programme is announced through the letter of the living and on Instagram.
Gourmet workshops
Hands on: seasonal cooking workshop, an introduction to food & wine pairing, a house cocktail workshop. In a small group, convivial, no fuss — you leave with ideas (and a full stomach).
Gourmet gatherings in Nyon
Winemaker evenings, tastings, cooking workshops and food & wine pairings: our events are lived in a small group, Place Bel-Air, in the heart of Nyon. It's a chance to meet the winemakers of La Côte and Valais, to taste the cellar differently and to leave with a head full of ideas. Follow the programme on Instagram or sign up to the letter of the living so you don't miss the next dates.
Book out the house
A company evening, a birthday, a dinner with friends: the house can be booked out, up to 28 people (from 8 for a partial buy-out), Tuesday to Saturday in the evening. Three formats: Chef's Table, a seated dinner or a standing cocktail — packages from 55.– to 140.– per person, incl. VAT, drinks not included.
The place is yours: glassware, tableware, table service and the chef's presence are included, and access is designed for guests with reduced mobility. For a company event elsewhere, or to host at home, the chef also travels as a bespoke caterer.
