Moët & Chandon brought its unique savoir-fête to open South Africa’s festive season in style, and whilst the clouds opened over Nelson Mandela Square, guests were entertained by world-class talent, golden goblets with ample champagne and Asian canapés. This year, the Moët & Chandon is sharing the joy of togetherness with a series of bespoke events, from musical performances to festive experiences in over 20 cities including Sydney, London, New York, and Paris.

Festivities began with a musical performance by SAMA-winning artist Simmy who entertained guests with her hit song Sonini. As is custom, Moët & Chandon included iconic South Africans in the experience – this year with Zozibini Tunzi, global humanitarian and Miss Universe 2019, alongside SA cricket captain Temba Bavuma.

The new Moët & Chandon Golden Tree, poised to offer perfect golden reflections of the Sandton skyline, is a sight to behold. Golden baubles adorn the tree’s gleaming metal exterior, while (for the first time) the interior opens to offer visitors a truly immersive experience.

Since 1743, countless celebratory moments form part of the extraordinary history of Moët & Chandon that have crystalised the House as a global “Icon of Celebration”. We are proud to continue that legacy this year, as much for the Moët & Chandon Golden Tree itself, as for the wonderful opportunity to ‘toast to togetherness’ again after so long.
