A Chicago lunch with winemaker Raphaël Bérêche exploring one grower’s vision of Champagne at Obélix.
The lunch is built around Champagne through the perspective of one grower. Raphaël Bérêche is named as host and featured winemaker, and the event description frames the program as an exploration of one grower’s vision of Champagne rather than a general tasting or open-ended restaurant meal.
The named producer connection is Champagne Bérêche & Fils. No individual cuvées, vintages, dishes, or pairings are specified, so the clearest supported read is a producer-led Champagne lunch centered on Bérêche’s role as winemaker and host.
The event is organized by Gracie Events LLC as part of La Fête du Champagne Chicago 2025. That places the lunch within a named Champagne program in Chicago while keeping the focus on this particular host-led session.
The schedule information identifies the lunch as taking place on a Friday at noon Central time. The event description also lists a price plus tax, while ticketing and official event links are associated with the same Eventbrite page.
Obélix is the featured venue, listed as a restaurant in Chicago at 700 N Sedgwick St. The venue is also associated with Oliver Poilevey and Nicolas Poilevey, who are named as chef-restaurateurs connected with Obélix.
