On March 4, 2026, the iconic Lighthouse restaurant at Baros Maldives will host a singular gastronomic event—a five-course Champagne pairing dinner presided over by Louis Duval-Leroy, the family representative and Brand Ambassador of Maison Duval-Leroy. This exclusive collaboration brings together the celebrated culinary philosophy of one of the Maldives’ most revered fine-dining destinations and the refined craftsmanship of a six-generation, family-owned Champagne house. Perched above the Indian Ocean with panoramic views, The Lighthouse provides the ultimate backdrop for an evening celebrating harmony between destination dining and heritage Champagne.

Why This Partnership Defines Luxury

Baros Maldives’ The Lighthouse is long regarded as a benchmark for fine dining in the region, known for its elegant setting and precision-focused menus. Partnering with Maison Duval-Leroy, a house recognized for its Chardonnay-driven style and pioneering commitment to sustainable viticulture, creates a synergy of values. Louis Duval-Leroy will personally guide guests through each cuvée, sharing stories of philosophy and craftsmanship directly from the estate. It’s more than a dinner; it’s an intimate immersion into two legacies of excellence.

The Art of the Pairing: A Preview of the Menu

The curated five-course menu is designed as a dialogue with the character of each Champagne. The culinary team has crafted dishes where flavor, texture, and aroma elevate the tasting experience.

Here is a preview of the exclusive pairing menu:
