Moët Hennessy, the wines and spirits division of LVMH, has expanded its role as a Formula 1 global luxury partner by introducing a new, high-profile experiential element at the Monza Grand Prix. Moving beyond its customary on-track brand activations for its portfolio of premium brands, the group orchestrated an exclusive off-track event featuring a gourmet dinner conceived by a chef with three Michelin stars, Massimo Bottura. The event was held at a prestigious venue in Milan.
Moët Hennessy's elevated experiential activation was designed to merge culinary artistry with motorsport history. In tandem with this theme, the menu devised by Bottura presented courses that drew inspiration from significant moments in racing. A highlight of the evening was a formal recognition of former champion driver Sir Jackie Stewart. His historical achievements and his specific connection to the event's location were acknowledged.
