Sydney Gourmet Society’s next Dinner |

Around the world, La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs has 24,000 members in 75 countries. In Australia, there are local sections in all capital cities. These clubs are called Bailliages, as part of the French society for food and wine appreciation.
The Chaine brings together professional members of the hospitality industry and non-professionals who enjoy fine dining. Every second month, the society organises degustation dinners with matching wines in major restaurants for a closed group varying from 50 to over 100 people. Some events are black tie. La Chaîne is a non-profit organisation, headed by a dedicated group of men and women. This month, the Sydney Bailliage appointed a new President (Bailli), Gunter Schaule. The society welcomes non-members to its degustation dinners. In Sydney, the next one will be at the Menzies Hotel on May 3rd, at a cost of $114 for five courses, including matching wines per course. Non-refundable bookings are with pre-payment only. The society’s international headquarters remains in Paris, where the organisation was founded in 1248 by King Louis IX, and the present day Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is still based on the traditions and practices of the ancient French brotherhood but now in an international and contemporary context. Since its internationalisation in 1950, the society has grown dramatically, spreading its presence to all major cities around the world. For More Information Contact: |
