Le Dîner en Blanc
Looking for something different to do to say adieu to summer? Dîner en Blanc is back in Melbourne on Saturday, February 28 for a sultry soirée.
Loved around the world for its sense of mystery, Dîner en Blanc is unlike any other dining experience. Founded in Paris and then brought to Melbourne in 2015, guests are expected to dress from head-to-toe in white (a sharp departure from most Melburnians' black attire).
The location is always top secret – on the evening, guests will meet at assigned departure points before being guided to the venue by volunteers. Guests then gather for a refined night of gourmet food, Champagne, music and dancing – before the pop-up spectacle disappears as seamlessly as it arrived.
While the classic bring-your-own picnic setting remains at the heart of the experience, the 2026 Melbourne edition also introduces a more streamlined option. Select departure points will offer reserved seating as part of the ticket, along with the ability to pre-order a catered meal.
This year’s food and beverage line-up is impressive. Curtis Stone Events will deliver a premium dining experience inspired by the renowned chef’s commitment to quality. Champagne and sparkling wines will be supplied by Moët and Chandon, while award-winning vino from Mornington Peninsula winery Ten Minutes by Tractor will round out the offering.
In line with Victorian liquor laws, BYO alcohol is not permitted, though non-alcoholic drinks may be brought along.
