About the event
La Fête’s Chicago finale dinner
Chicago Gala Dinner is part of La Fête du Champagne Chicago 2025 and serves as the festival’s culminating dinner in Chicago. The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 6:30 PM CT, and the source description calls it La Fête’s festive finale in Chicago.
The dinner format is seated and multi-course, with Champagne pairings built into the program. It is also described as collaborative, so the event is framed around both the meal and the Champagne component rather than a walk-around tasting or standalone reception.
Champagne format and participants
Champagne service includes bottles provided by attending producers, and guests bring BYO Champagne to share. That combination makes the program specific: the dinner includes producer-supplied bottles as well as guest-shared Champagne within the same seated format.
Paul Kahan appears as host chef for Avec, and Lee Wolen appears as chef with Boka Group. The featured restaurant names connected to the event include Avec River North and Boka, both in Chicago.
