This year’s edition set a new platform for the Los Angeles to exhibit their fashion sense, showcase their classy taste for design and elegance and share their gastronomic delights. We were hopeful you were able to make it. If not, we hope you enjoy a selection of photos of white-clad revelers enjoying the evening and can make mention of the wonderful evening of wine, food and celebration. 

Apothic White—the white wine with dark motives— reprised its role as the Official U.S. Wine Partner for the 2016 season of Le Dîner en Blanc, the world’s largest global pop-up dinner party. By the time the unique series of outdoor picnics featuring white-clad diners, waving napkins, music, pageantry, camaraderie and gastronomy concludes later this fall, Apothic White and Le Dîner en Blanc will have visited more than 20 cities and delighted over 40,000 guests.

Apothic, a crisp, refreshing white blend with bright floral notes and vibrant flavors of peach and apricot, deftly combines Old World mystery with modern sophistication. Apothic is a natural partner for the refined and unique event that is part spontaneous picnic and part mystery tour.

From piers to beaches, from public squares to civic monuments, Apothic and Le Dîner en Blanc take guests to places they never imagined they could visit and sharing that experience with thousands of in-the-know urban adventurers. The event secretly takes over civic landmarks and reveals these mysterious locations at the last minute. Then, white-clad revelers converge from across each city to arrive at the secret location at the same moment... guests bring their own food and may pre-order the delicious flavors of Apothic White and share with friends, often spending weeks designing menus to prepare sumptuous and creative repasts. Le Dîner en Blanc has also become a popular venue for guests to exhibit their unique fashion style, showcase their taste for design, while enjoying Apothic White wine.

Apothic White will also be celebrated at satellite sampling events at other artistic and culinary landmarks surrounding the Dîner en Blanc evenings.
