Moët & Chandon decided to celebrate life’s triumphant moments and hosted a special gathering in the heart of Sandton as part of a multi-city Moët & Chandon Grand ‘Toast to Today’. Guests in each country were invited as honoured icons of success and elegance, dressed up in cream and gold, ready for an intimate experience at the Alto234 Bar, Africa’s highest Urban Bar and viewing deck.
Throughout Africa and the Middle East, guests convened at prestigious venues from the One&Only Royal Mirage in Dubai to the Villa Rosa Kempinski in Kenya, to honour Champagne Day in style.
In a collective moment, guests across 10 cities raised their glasses to join a Grand ‘Toast to Today’, which took place at 17:43 in homage to the year the Moët & Chandon Maison was founded. Founded in 1743, Moët & Chandon is the Maison that contributed to introducing champagne to the world by offering a range of unique wines designed for various occasions.
Events of the recent past have highlighted the importance of acknowledging our daily triumphs, meaningful moments, successes, friends – as often as possible. Too often we are so focused on life’s major milestones that moments we should be acknowledging every day can just pass us by. The Moët & Chandon Grand ‘Toast to Today’ experience served as a powerful reminder to pause and reflect, and celebrate what we have.

In celebration of the powerful sentiment behind the Grand ‘Toast to Today’, Moët & Chandon created a customized ‘Wall of Toasts’. Guests were invited to recall a personal moment they felt thankful for on their notecard, seal it with a red wax seal and add it to the wall.
The Moët & Chandon Grand ‘Toast to Today’ served as a fitting moment to reflect on the past 18-months and the importance of celebrating moments that matter each day.
