Riviera-inspired pours this June
Rosé season is officially back at La Petite Maison Dubai, with the DIFC restaurant announcing the return of its annual Rosé Week from June 8 to 14. Now in its third consecutive year, the week-long event promises French Riviera-inspired dining, premium rosé pairings and a new artistic collaboration that will transform the restaurant space.
Inspired by the traditions of Southern France, Rosé Week celebrates the laid-back lifestyle and long lunches synonymous with the Côte d’Azur. This year, La Petite Maison has partnered with renowned Provence winery Château Gassier, known for its organic rosé wines, to create a series of exclusive food and wine experiences.
The highlight takes place over the weekend of June 13 and 14, when guests can enjoy a specially curated Le Menu du Week-End paired with Château Gassier rosé.
The menu includes starters such as prawns with olive oil and lemon or lentil salad, followed by mains including grilled tiger prawns with green chilli and coriander or marinated baby chicken with sugar snaps. Desserts range from vanilla cheesecake with berry compote to warm chocolate mousse with malt ice cream.
Adding a creative dimension to this year’s edition is a collaboration with Beirut-born artist Ihab Ahmad.
Throughout the week, Ahmad’s vibrant artworks will be displayed across the restaurant, creating an immersive experience for diners. Known for exploring themes of hope, joy and humanity through painting, sculpture and mixed media, the artist’s colourful works have been exhibited across Europe, the Middle East and the United States.
The installation is designed to complement the celebratory atmosphere of Rosé Week while bringing an added visual element to the dining experience.
The celebrations extend beyond the weekend. During the week, guests visiting for lunch can add a dedicated two-glass rosé pairing featuring Château Gassier’s 2024 Esprit Gassier and Le Pas Du Moinewines.
