Featuring boat parties, brunch carnivals, slick dance music (and lots of Champagne and canapes), this debut Asia event of Veuve Clicquot looks to be the epitome of class
Truth: if you wanna see us lose our inhibitions quickly and slip into fiesta mode without a hitch, a sparkling glass of Champers is the way to go. We’re well aware (maybe too much) of this effect Champagne has on people, and the French know it too – that’s why the Champagne connoisseurs behind the famed Veuve Clicquot brand are notorious for throwing their joie de vivre parties across the world from Miami to Cannes. You’ve probably heard how mad these riotous affairs are, and Veuve Clicquot has, likewise, heard your pleas for a Singapore shindig. Well, be careful what you wish for, ’cos Veuve Clicquot is coming at us with full force with Le Clicquot Weekend at Fullerton Hotel and Fullerton Bay Hotel. You ready for this?
Think of it a series of back-to-back parties at one of the swankiest, most iconic hotels overlooking the Marina Bay waterfront; Le Clicquot Weekend offers this, and then some. The best way to lose yourself completely in this boozy weekend from 30 April to 1 May is to a book a staycation package at either hotel (prices below), where you’ll essentially slip into a lavish routine of drink-party-drink-party and so on, ’til you’re poshly inebriated by the end of it all. How does this rendition of joie de vivre – its first in Asia, btw – ensure you don’t get bored? By changing the scenery over and over again, swifter than you can say, “Another round, please [hic]”.
Once you’re done warming up in your room with your first few glasses of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, you’ll spend the afternoon sailing down the Singapore River on the Clicquot Cruise – doesn’t get fancier than starting with a boat party! Try to refrain from getting too buzzed, ’cos you’ll be docking at the Yellow Night after-party at The Fullerton Bay Hotel’s Lantern – one of our best rooftop bars in Singapore. Move and mingle to quality choons from housemeister Maurice Simon, the disco-teasing Daryl C, techy feline CATS ON CRACK and saxophonist extraordinaire Kaye. And if you can endure past the hangover the morning after, round three ensues at The Clifford Pier for a Rio-inspired Carnaval Brunch with Mardi Gras-like celebrations, decadent fine dining and, needless to say, lots of Clicquot bubbles.
You can choose to attend each of the parties individually, available at cheaper prices. But if you have the moolah to spare, and the urge to get sloshed in style on a weekend, we highly suggest you go all out and book yourself a staycation package. After all, this will be a revelry to remember… or will you?
