(SOLD OUT) Join a ‘Six-Course Gourmet Odyssey With Champagne Pairings’ with Marriott

Marriott Bonvoy is bringing its ‘Gourmet Odyssey’ programme back to London, with a six course extravaganza on Saturday 15th February.

It is decent value at 40,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for two people.

The price has gone up from the 30,000 points charged for the November event but this one is with champagne pairings rather than wine pairings. (There is a LOT of alcohol involved in this event, be aware!)

You can redeem via ‘Marriott Moments’ here.

I attended the Gourmet Odyssey in November, as did a number of other readers. It was a genuinely fun day and you couldn’t argue with the value. I won’t be attending this one as its over half term and we are likely to be away, but it is worth a look.

This is what you get:

Experience London’s culinary highlights with an unforgettable six-course lunch. You and a guest will enjoy a welcome reception at Lanes of London, inside Marriott Park Lane Hotel, before starting your gastronomic journey.

You will then make your way to three of London’s top restaurants celebrated for both their delectable menus as well as their sustainable practices: Apricity, Cavita, and Jikoni. Enjoy expertly matched champagne pairings by Champagne Lallier throughout this Gourmet Odyssey.

Apricity was awarded a Green Michelin-star for their sustainable, ultra-low waste ethos. The restaurant uses produce at the height of season from small-scale farmers alongside locally foraged ingredients to create a captivating, innovative cuisine. 

Cavita is a modern Mexican restaurant deeply committed to sustainable food production, fair trade practices and better food choices. Cavita uses their principled approach to cooking to produce food with vibrant flavours, colours, and textures.

Jkioni’s menus are inspired by immigrant cuisine and the rich, shared flavours and cultures across parts of South Asia & the Far East, the Middle East, East Africa and Britain. The restaurant became the first carbon neutral independent restaurant in the UK and has been powered by solar power, wind power, and carbon neutral green energy.  

Experience includes:

• Saturday 15 February 2025
  • Welcome reception at the hotel Marriott Park Lane Hotel
  • Six-course dinner with champagne pairings for two (2) across three different restaurants — Apricity, Cavita, and Jikoni

No children under 18 are allowed and no transport or accommodation is included.

You can book for 40,000 Bonvoy points for two people here. There were 17 pairs of tickets available at 3pm on Tuesday.
