It’s called Boubou’s Club Wine Casino and it’s the ultimate wine tasting experience while you enjoy casino games.
It takes place every Wednesday evening and promises to offer moments of pure fun and oenological discovery, quite different from the more mundane wine tastings that exist all over the capital.
Located in the charming neighborhood of Príncipe Real, Boubou’s restaurant is already known for its innovative approach to fine dining, which we’ve already had the opportunity to try, and which we loved.
How does the Wine Casino work?
With the guidance of the talented sommelier Anastasiia Kornilova, the Wine Casino invites you to challenge your wine knowledge, but in a more fun and interactive way.
During these wine tastings, you’ll sit at a table specially prepared for this occasion, where you’ll be given tokens to bet on various wine-related categories, tasted blind.
Each round corresponds to a new challenge, such as identifying the country of origin out of 12 possible; the grape variety out of 30 alternatives; the year of production; the alcohol content; and even the price of the wine you’re tasting. So we’re talking about an experience for people who already have some more specific knowledge about vineyards and wines.
And the final prize? Well, the winner of each table gets back the registration fee, which is 50 euros, which can be used in the restaurant that same evening.
For Alexis Bourrat, this initiative aims to give customers a different and fun way to explore extraordinary wines while enjoying the cuisine of his restaurant,
On these evenings, we change the face of the restaurant. We’re closing Boubou’s and opening Boubou’s Club. We’re sticking to our matrix, which is to offer hospitality and pleasant moments, but in an atmosphere that is more relaxed and lively.”
