The Nespresso Connoisseur Club experience is a recently launched traveling event put on by the coffee brand that takes consumers on an [immersive sensorial journey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-snack-experience). Currently located at the Henley Royal Regatta in Oxfordshire, the Connoisseur Club is a two-tiered house packed with five days of activities like demonstrations from [Michelin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saratoga-supper-club-2025)-starred chefs and taste tests.

Aimed at encouraging consumers to join the [Nespresso Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nespresso-canada), the Connoisseur Club is a gourmet culinary adventure that elevates the brand to that of the upscale regatta lifestyle. The second level of the club serves as a viewing platform with a stunning direct view of the Thames and boasts areas for spectators to rest and grab a bite to eat.

The immersive Nespresso Connoisseur Club campaign will be travelling to Wales after the conclusion of the Henley Regatta.
