A Taste of Wimbledon's Sweet Side
One of the most delightful aspects of Wimbledon season is the celebration of strawberries. Master Pâtissier Nicolas Rouzaud at The Connaught has crafted a mouthwatering strawberry sandwich, a true masterpiece of flavor. And if that's not enough, he's also launching a tennis ball-shaped cake, combining pistachio, vanilla, and strawberry flavors. It's a sweet treat that's sure to leave a lasting impression.
Afternoon Tea with a Tennis Twist
Hotel Café Royal takes the traditional afternoon tea to a whole new level with their Champion Afternoon Tea. Inspired by the timeless tradition of strawberries and cream, this experience is a feast for the senses. From elegant pastries to classic finger sandwiches and warm scones, it's a delightful way to indulge in the essence of Wimbledon.
Sipping in Style
When it comes to Wimbledon, a splash of champagne is a must. Tournament sponsors Lanson have given their iconic cuvées, Le Black Création and Le Rose Création, a stylish makeover. The new cases reflect the timeless elegance of Wimbledon, making them the perfect choice for a sophisticated toast.
