The Wintergarden Ball
Dix Ans D'Amour: A 1930s Parisian Wintergarden
Step through the doors and step back in time. On this New Year's Eve, we're transforming Cognac into a glittering 1930s Parisian wintergarden — an evening of old-world glamour, lush botanicals, and candlelit opulence, where the spirit of Jazz Age Paris meets the timeless romance of the French countryside.
Ten years ago, we said "I do." Tonight, we celebrate a decade of love the only way we know how — in style. Expect masterfully crafted cocktails, a decadent multi-course dinner, and entertainment that will sweep you off your feet as we count down to midnight and ring in the new year the way they did nearly a century ago.
Guests are invited to dress in their finest 1930s black tie — think silk, sequins, feathers, furs and tailored elegance — for a night suspended between eras, where every detail conspires to transport you to another time entirely.
Vive l'amour. Vive 1930. Vive la nouvelle année.
What should I wear?
What to Wear: 1930s Black Tie
We invite you to dress the part for an evening in our Parisian wintergarden — 1930s black tie is the order of the night.
For the Gentlemen: Channel old Hollywood glamour in a classic tuxedo — think peak lapels, a crisp white shirt, and a silk bow tie. A waistcoat or cummerbund adds authentic period polish, and don't shy away from a pocket square or vintage-inspired accessories like suspenders or a pocket watch chain.
For the Ladies: This is the era of bias-cut silk, sequins, and feathers. Floor-length gowns in jewel tones or metallics capture the mood beautifully, as do dropped-waist silhouettes reminiscent of the late 1920s and '30s. Finish the look with long gloves, a beaded clutch, a fur or faux-fur stole, and finger waves or a soft pin-curl hairstyle. A statement headpiece or feather clip is always welcome. Hair and Make-up artists will be provided on site, if you prefer to be pampered...
The Finishing Touch: Think glamour over costume — this is an evening of elegance, not fancy dress. Rich fabrics, art deco jewelry, and a touch of drama in silhouette and sparkle will feel right at home among the candlelight and greenery of our wintergarden.
We can't wait to celebrate with you — dressed to the nines, ready to dance until (just after) midnight.
