Save the Date! We're back!
Le Diner en Blanc returns to Hampton Roads for its 3rd edition on Saturday, July 8, 2023. As always, the venue will remain secret until the last minute.
Le Diner en Blanc is an event that transports us into another world. The sea of people all adorned in white creates images that are instantly ‘Instagram-able’. Meeting new people or reuniting with longtime friends. Getting all dressed up to attend a dinner à la française where conversation and champagne are essential.
Bettina Lee, host of Le Diner en Blanc in Hampton Roads, is glad that Le Diner en Blanc is returning to the city: “Last year was a huge success,” said Lee. We are planning another epic event at an iconic venue in Hampton Roads. We are featuring local vendors and entertainment companies.” To be part of this unique night of friends, food, fashion, and flair, people can sign-up now at register.dinerenblanc.com/hamptonroads/en/register.
To maintain the uniqueness of Le Diner en Blanc, every guest has a part to play and observes certain requirements such as:
• Dress code: head-to-toe in white only. Elegance and originality are key!
• Table setting: all white!
• French-influenced events, only wine and Champagne are served. Please note that as per the state of Virginia's alcohol laws, guests cannot bring their own alcohol. Guests wishing to enjoy some wine or Champagne must reserve online through Le Diner en Blanc’s e-store. However, guests are welcome to bring their own non-alcoholic beverages.
• To ensure that the location secret is kept undisclosed until the last minute, guests meet at the assigned departure location and are escorted by a Diner en Blanc volunteer.
• So, the event location is left as clean as when guests arrived. They are required to leave with all their belongings, leftovers, and litter.
Guests are to bring:
• A table, two white chairs, white tablecloth.
• A picnic basket comprising fine food and proper stemware, and white dinnerware.
• A catered picnic basket option, which can be picked up on-site, will be available for those who do not wish to pack their own. Guests wishing to do so must reserve online through Le Diner en Blanc’s e-store.
