Bastille Day at Pops for Champagne

To celebrate Bastille Day, the French national holiday which commemorates the storming of the Bastille during the historic French Revolution, Pops For Champagne will be opening its doors and offering a féte of its own on Sunday, July 12 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Utilizing both the indoor champagne bar as well as the lush outdoor courtyard at historical Tree Studios, guests can enjoy unlimited food and French sparkling wines for $35 per person.

Aside from the grilled meats, sandwiches and cheese dishes prepared by Executive Chef Andrew Brochu, revelers can choose between a Vintage 2005 Cremant de Bourgogne Blanc and a Charles Bauer Cremant d’Alsace Rose for the $35 per person price. In addition, six featured sparkling wines and champagnes ($5-15 per glass) selected by Wine Director W. Craig Cooper will allow guests an opportunity to sample additional wines from Pops’ world class champagne list. As guests celebrate the Féte Nationale, attendees can enjoy recorded French music and the experience of commemorating the turning point of France’s independence.

Tickets can be purchased in advance of the event at Pops or by calling the venue directly at 312-266-7677 or visiting www.popsforchampagne.com. Tickets will be held at “will call” during the day of the event.
